Friends of Vocational Technical & Agricultural Education,
MAVA Chapter 74 schools are most fortunate to have access to a HotWorks certification. This has only been possible through the combined efforts of Chris Faucher and the collaboration of Bay Path Regional Voc-Tech in Charlton. We extend our sincere appreciation to Kyle Brenner Superintendent /Director, Lisa Peters and her Business Technology and Marketing students, and Kristen Surozenski Financial Assistant at Bay Path for their assistance.
Since its inception, over 10,000 Chapter 74 MAVA graduates have entered the workforce with this certification. We are most fortunate to have Chris & Bay Path voluntarily providing this important service.

Hot work is any work process that involves heat, spark, or flame that is capable of starting fires or explosions. Examples include, but are not limited to, welding, cutting, grinding, soldering, heat treating, hot riveting, torch applied roofing, abrasive blasting, and powder driven fasteners.
Who is required to attend hot work safety training?
Anyone who performs, supervises, or delegates hot work must complete hot work safety training. This includes trades licensed under a specialized code (M.G.L. chapter 143 section 96) such as, but not limited to, plumbers and electricians, who may receive their training as part of their licensing authority’s continuing education requirements.
