Fire is a potential risk when working with tools that
generate sparks, heat or flames. A spark or flame that catches on paper or any
flammable material can quickly cause a fire that may be hard to control.
Sometimes due to noise, a worker might not even realise that a spark has
ignited.
This is why the fire plan must always be kept up to date.
This is critical during any alteration work or as the construction develops.
Workers must know at all times, the fire escape routes and what to do in the
event of an emergency. There must be an effective way for all employees to
raise the alarm in the event of a fire to reduce the hazard, prevent panic and
ensure everyone is safe.
A construction site really can develop and change daily, so
to ensure there are no compensation claims from accidents workers must know the fire routes and know if they
are likely to change as a building or area changes.
