Marine and Military Fire Watch
Vessels and military installations run fire watch under their own authorities: the OSHA shipyard standards, Marine Chemist certificates, Coast Guard rules, and DoD facility criteria. We staff these environments, and these guides cover how their rules work and where the watch fits. Specialized jurisdictions; always confirm with the authority that governs your work.
