English translation:Work involving exposure to heat
Explanation:
In English, you've got to explain this in more detail than it appears in Swedish. It can't simply be translated as 'hot work'.

Hot work


Explanation:
Too late, I know, but this is not for points but for future reference - FYI - only.

In fire protection terms, "hot work" is actually commonly used at least in the US, as you can see if you google and review some sites.
