Fire prevention

Construction sites have fuels, heat sources and debris. Fires start fast.

Key points

• Store flammable liquids in approved containers.
• Keep hot work away from combustibles.
• Keep fire extinguishers ready and know where they are.
• Clean up debris that can burn.
• Don't block exits or extinguishers.

Ask the crew

• Where are the extinguishers today?
• What hot work is happening?
