In my experience, the company doing the hot work provides the fire watch.
And they need to be properly trained.

And by trained, it’s like a 30-60 min computer based training course

Where I work you bring your own fire watch. If an air conditioning company needs to use a torch to fix a leak that a/c contractor supplies the extra man. If it’s our maintenance dept making a weld someone from maintenance is on watch, etc. during a turnaround another company will supply fire watches due to the amount of hot work jobs. Usually they are the big latinas as mentioned above.

For hot work, yes.
In my experience the company would provide a generic fire watch training and hot work practical. OSHA 1915.

Exactly. We are a chicken shite union.

Agree with Skeet. Was always the contractor doing the work supplied their firewatch. From the company side, we put the firewatchers through an orientation and instruction to be acceptable.
We had some of these watchers fail. Hard to believe, but they failed.

Those young Latina’s built like a brick shite house, walking around in skin tight Ariat jeans are THE biggest safety hazard on the job site.

That’s a fact.

Totally depends on the owner/client or facility. I’ve had some owners provide hole watches and fire watches, but most require you to provide your own. The training or non training is also on a facility by facility requirement basis.

I worked in the plant during summers in high school
The fire watch people were always ghetto middle aged black women. My guess is they watched a video on a computer, clicked yes, and got hired. 90% weren’t watching anything.

I worked at a place on the river. Wrote plenty permits for hot work. I don’t think any of them had a fire watch.

Of course they just send out bodies.
You called up last minute thinking all these certified people are available, just at your whim.

This sounds like an episode of Refined

Not all hot work jobs require a fire watch where I worked. Never heard anything about them needing special training.
We had various hotwork permits. Cutting the grass didn't require anything... just sign the book (no grass in classified areas). Other were hot work and the Open flame hot work.
I guess it all depends on if it is exxon, dow, etc.
