Hot Work Training

NFPA.org
 

As of January of 2025, the State of Massachusetts regulations for Hot Work Safety is going to enforce their 3-year limitation for training. This means Hot Work Cards will only be valid for 3 years.

For those with Hot Work Cards Completed since January of 2022:

If you have earned your Hot Work Card within the last 3 years (January of 2022 to now), it will expire 3 years from the date on your card. You should plan on retaking the online course prior to your card’s expiration date. This includes those that completed the course in early 2022. Please plan on taking it prior to your 3-year anniversary of taking the course.

For those with Hot Work Cards Completed prior to January of 2022:

If you earned your Hot Work Card prior to this date, your card will be expired as of January 1, 2025. You will need to retake the online course and successfully complete the online test to earn a new Hot Work Card that will be good for 3 years. This process will need to be completed every 3 years to maintain an active Hot Work Card.
