RISCAuthority Hot Works Site Induction Toolkit Introduction

RISCAuthority, administered by the Fire Protection Association, is a research organisation funded by the UK’s insurance industry, whose mission is to promote business and property protection and resilience to fire and other insured perils.

The ‘Hot Works Site Induction Toolkit’ is a FREE to distribute and use software package to help with the management of hot works risks at point of entry to site. It is available for download free-of-charge from the RISCAuthority website www.RISCAuthority.co.uk.
As hot works related fires stubbornly continue to cause significant insurance losses, this software is designed to ensure best practice risk control processes are understood by all entering a site.
Designed to be located on a PC with printer and camera at reception, the software elicits information from those entering a site to conduct hot works and takes them through a hot works safety video, before asking them to complete a series of questions to demonstrate they have watched and understood what is required of them. If they answer enough questions correctly, then a photo ID, time limited certificate is issued to them which also contains important emergency site contact details.
