Ensuring fire safety measures are in place on construction sites

Those who work on construction sites and in similar environments will know only too well the dangers involved in this type of work. These kinds of working environments are dangerous due to a number of different reasons.

On construction sites you will find that many combustible materials are present which could easily catch fire at any time. The portable electric tools used by workers are types of equipment that needs to be handled very carefully.

Therefore, the risk of fire associated with construction sites is a lot higher than it would be with a typical office building for instance. In order to meet the need for effective forward planning and the level of training necessary in fire safety, a number of courses have been devised by industry professionals.

There is now a course which has been developed especially for those who work on construction sites. This training is suitable for any relevant personnel who are tasked with managing fire safety on a site to remain in accordance with the ‘Joint Code of Practice’ Fire Prevention on Construction Sites regulations.

If you send your employees on such a course, they can expect to be given training on things like emergency procedures and fire prevention so they can be deemed competent in fire safety.
