A FireChief hot works kit (Bundle 57) is an essential tool for any workplace that involves welding, cutting or grinding. This is due to these activities creating sparks that can easily ignite combustible materials. The kit contains various items designed to help prevent fires and keep workers safe during hot work operations.

• 2kg Foam Fire Extinguisher FXF2 (approved to BSEN3)

• K40 1.2 x 1.8m high performance woven glass fibre Fire Blanket

• Plastic pocket for storage of Hot Work Permit forms

• Rolls up into an easy to carry, easy to store bag ready to take onto site

One important component of a hot works kit is a 2kg foam fire extinguisher. Unlike dry powder fire extinguishers, which can cause asphyxiation in small enclosed spaces, a foam fire extinguisher is safe to use in indoor areas with limited ventilation. The foam creates a barrier between the fire and the oxygen, suffocating the flames and preventing them from spreading.

The second item included in the hot works kit is a woven fibreglass fire blanket. This K40 fire blanket is designed to smother fires by cutting off their oxygen supply. It is particularly useful for shielding against sparks and splatters from welding.

Finally, the kit comes with a plastic pocket for storage of Hot Work Permit forms. These forms are used to document the authorisation and safety measures taken before any hot work is carried out. By keeping the forms in a dedicated pocket within the kit, workers can ensure that they always have them on hand and can easily access them in case of an emergency.

Overall, the hot works kit with a foam fire extinguisher, woven fibreglass fire blanket, and storage pocket for Hot Work Permit forms provides a comprehensive solution for workplace safety during hot work operations.
