Is this the right Hot Works Permit?

A hot works permit records controlled work that can create flame, heat, or sparks. This Tradie Forms template follows common Australian hot work principles. It is not a government form or compliance certificate.

  • Check the site's rules and insurer requirements before setting the watch period.
  • This record does not certify compliance with AS 1674.1.
Who has to complete the Hot Works Permit?
The authorised permit issuer completes it with the person doing the hot work and the nominated fire watch.
When is it required?
Use it when hot work happens outside a permanently designated area, or when your site, client, insurer, or work procedure requires a permit.
Where does the completed form go?
Give the accepted permit to the worker and fire watch. Keep the issued and closed copies with the job or site safety records.
Can I fill it on my phone?
Yes. Tradie Forms walks you through each section on your phone and downloads the official PDF layout when you are ready.
Will this PDF be accepted?
Tradie Forms downloads your answers in the official PDF layout where supported. Always preview and check the completed PDF before sending, lodging, or handing it over. Tradie Forms does not lodge or certify the form for you.

The insurer asks for the permit after the job

A laminated blank form cannot show who watched the area, when the watch ended, or whether the permit was ever closed.

  • The permit lives in a site folder nobody can find

    Create the issued and closed PDF from the same saved record, then keep both with the job.

  • The fire watch is agreed but never logged

    Name the watch person, choose the post-work period, and record the actual cleared time at close-out.

  • The permit closes when the tools get packed up

    Make close-out a separate step after the area and fire watch have been checked.

From first spark to final fire-watch check

Issue it, control the work, watch the area, then close it.

Start a fresh one from the library or pick up a draft where you left off.

Frequently asked questions

Requirements vary by site, client, insurer, and work procedure. It is commonly used for hot work outside a designated hot work area. Check the rules that apply to your job.
