Join the crew — Fire WatchQuestions
Yes. NFPA 51B requires fire watch for a minimum of 30 minutes after hot work ceases, and most insurance carriers require the full hour. Our fire watch schedules build the post-work hour into the shift so you are not scrambling for coverage when the welders pack up.
Yes. Refinery fire-watch personnel are a specialty subset of our roster — craftsmen with current TWIC cards, refinery safety orientation, and documented shutdown-cycle experience. Oklahoma refinery shutdowns are a recurring dispatch.
NFPA 51B requires one fire watch per hot-work location, not per welder. For a commercial site running three simultaneous hot-work stations, you need three fire watch personnel, not one. Insurance and AHJ reviews catch contractors who try to run one fire watch across multiple stations — ask us to staff per-location.
The Standard
Licensed where the law requires it. OSHA-screened on every shift. W-2 employed — no misclassification risk. Staffed across the OK / TX corridor.
