Fire Risk Assessments for Construction Sites. New Course available.

We can now offer a Course which will enhance the knowledge of Site Managers when carrying out Fire Risk Assessments for Construction Sites. The Course will encompass both new Guidance Documents (See below)

Although the construction industry’s performance has improved over the past decade, the rates of death, serious injury and ill health for construction site workers are still too high. When
construction activities are not adequately controlled, children and other members of the public can also be killed or injured, and property adjacent to construction sites be put at risk – for example, from a site fire large enough to spread off-site.

The latest Guidance Document ( HSG 168 Second Edition) and Code of Practice (The Joint Code of Practice for Fire in Construction Sites and Buildings Undergoing Renovation.) are available which will be extremely useful to all those who have a role in the development, management and application of fire safety standards on construction sites,

ie clients, designers,
contractors and CDM co-ordinators. It will also support those with legal responsibilities under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007, and the Fire(Scotland) Act 2005, while assisting site managers in the day-to-day management of fire risks on site.

HSG 168 Second Edition can be downloaded free of charge here:

The Code of Practice can be purchased here: https://www.thefpa.co.uk/fpa_home/publications/shop/default.aspx Cost £20
