The Beep Hot-Work Fire Watch Skills certification checks whether you understand the fire watcher's job during welding, gas cutting and grinding — staying at the spot, keeping the work area in sight, clearing or covering anything that can burn, and stopping the work when a permit condition is no longer met.
It also covers the hazards fire watchers face on real sites: sparks falling through gaps to lower floors, heat travelling through metal pipes and walls, 'empty' fuel drums and gas leaks, raising the alarm early, and why the watch continues after the welder has finished.
The assessment takes about 7 minutes, is auto-scored, and produces a certificate with a unique verifiable ID you can share with anyone. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.

Hot-Work Fire Watch Skills certification FAQs
Does this make me a fire officer or a safety officer?
No. This is Beep's own knowledge assessment for the station-level fire watcher role, issued and assessed by Beep only. It has no affiliation with any fire service, factories inspectorate, government body, sector skill council or training board. It is not a licence, does not qualify you as a Fire & Industrial Safety Officer or a statutory Safety Officer, and does not authorise you to issue hot-work permits.
How long should a fire watch continue after hot work?
For the time written on your site's hot-work permit. The quiz tests why the watch continues — hidden sparks can smoulder — rather than a fixed number, because sites set their own period.
How is this different from the Fire & Industrial Safety certification on Beep?
That is the officer-level certification covering fire classes, extinguisher types, risk assessment and audits. This one focuses only on standing a fire watch during and after hot work.
