Is this the right Hot Works Permit?

Hot Works Permit at a glance

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.

What you need to know

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 guides you through each section on mobile and exports the official PDF layout when you are ready to complete.
Will this PDF be accepted?
Tradie Forms exports onto 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.

Check the controls with the worker before starting

Preview the PDF, confirm the fire controls and fire watch, then capture the issue and acceptance signatures.

  • Eight hot works controls
  • Additional hazards continue onto extra pages
  • Close-out requires the cleared fire-watch time

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.

The permit is not finished when the flame stops. Record when the fire watch clears the area too.

From first spark to final fire-watch check

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

What gets checked before export

Tradie Forms checks these requirements against the Tradie Forms template before the PDF is ready to complete.

Work and test details

The technical details that prove what was completed or checked.

Business, site, hot work type, work description, and the full validity window are required.
Fire watch name and post-work watch period are required at issue.

Declaration and sign-off

Signatures, declarations, authorised people, and review steps.

Issued-by and accepted-by names, dates, and signatures are required before download.

Final export review

Anything else that should be checked before downloading the PDF.

Every control must be answered, with the four critical fire controls confirmed Yes.
Close-out stays optional at issue. A completed close-out also needs the fire watch cleared time.

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.

A general Permit to Work authorises a controlled task. This template adds hot work types, fire-specific controls, and the fire watch lifecycle.

It is completed only after the post-work fire watch ends. Reopen the saved draft, add the cleared time and close-out details, then download the final copy.
