HSE has published a revised version of the publication Fire safety in construction (HSG168) about managing fire risks during construction projects.
Each year, fires on construction sites across Great Britain put the safety of workers and members of the public at risk.
This latest (third) edition of Fire safety in construction gives advice about eliminating or reducing fire risks during the design phase (where practicable), preventing fires from starting on construction sites, and ensuring people’s safety if they do.
It is aimed at all those involved in construction projects who procure, design, develop and manage construction sites, including clients and designers. It is relevant to all construction projects.
It should help you achieve good fire safety management and compliance with the fire safety requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
