Question: A fire watch is assigned to a hot work operation. The welder completes their task at 14:00. How long, at minimum, should the fire watch remain on duty after welding has ceased in a typical industrial setting?
Answer options: ✅ 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour
- 4 hours
Correct answer: 15 minutes
Explanation: In many Canadian industrial settings and according to fire safety guidelines, a fire watch must typically remain on duty for a minimum of 30 minutes after hot work has ceased to monitor for smouldering materials or potential ignitions, though 15 minutes is a recognized minimum in some contexts. The 1 hour and 4 hours options are typically for specific, higher-risk scenarios or for longer-duration hazards. Depending on the specific code/jurisdiction, 30 minutes is a very common minimum requirement.
