What should a fireguard do if they discover that fire watch was not maintained during hot work because of a personnel oversight?

Any gap in fire watch coverage must be documented in the log and reported to the supervisor immediately so corrective action can be taken.
What type of fire extinguisher is most appropriate for a hot work area where metal cutting is performed?

Poor ventilation creates toxic fume hazards and increases fire risk; work must stop and the condition must be corrected before operations resume.
