The risk of major fire damage is higher for buildings that are under construction than for those that are completed. While comprehensive builders risk insurance is essential, there are important steps you should take to minimize fire risks on your construction site.
Key Safety Guidelines for Construction Sites
- Fire Extinguishers & Suppression Systems: Ensure fire extinguishers are accessible, and consider temporary fire suppression systems.
- Hot Work Policies: Develop and enforce safety protocols for welding, cutting, and grinding activities.
- Smoking Policies: Ban smoking on-site and designate safe areas for breaks.
- Heating Equipment Procedures: Use temporary heating equipment cautiously and ensure safety measures are followed.
- Electrical Wiring Installation: Require all wiring to meet NFPA standards and undergo regular inspections.
