Jenkins Academy of Applied Technology
HOT-001 — Employer workplace component
Welding, Cutting and Hot Work · v1.0.0 · October 22, 2026
Course developed by Todd Jerome Jenkins, MS, CSP.
Online knowledge component only. This course does not provide welding-performance certification, equipment-specific qualification, fire-watch authorization, respirator clearance or confined-space entry/rescue qualification. The employer must complete actual task instruction, practical verification and workplace authorization before assignment.
Complete this worksheet using the actual workplace and current plan. A blank form or course score is not evidence that the action occurred. Record actual dates and observations. Print or save a completed copy before closing; entries are not automatically stored. Keep private health details out of this worksheet.
| Component | Actual evidence |
|---|---|
| Coverage and authorization | Identify actual work and jurisdiction; verify authorization, required permits, related entry/energy-control requirements and contractor coordination. |
| Role and equipment training | Document operator, supervisor, authorizer and fire-watch instruction for the actual equipment, materials, hazards and emergency limits; verify safe performance. |
| Fire prevention and watch | Inspect all exposed areas, remove/protect combustibles, resolve prohibited conditions, verify extinguishing equipment and watch locations, relief and post-work duration. |
| Health and task controls | Verify material/coating identity, exposure evaluation, ventilation, PPE/respiratory program, gas/electrical equipment, cylinder handling, container preparation and space/rescue arrangements. |
| Closeout and evidence | Record actual stop/restart decisions, shutdown, hot-surface warnings, watch completion, final inspection, remaining restrictions and permit retention. Online completion alone is not authorization. |
Use the actual work and plan. Arrange clear instruction, questions, teach-back and suitable safe practice. Correct a critical gap before relying on the arrangement. Academy support is asynchronous and is not an emergency contact route.
