SYNOPSIS:

During construction all buildings are more vulnerable to a fire than a completed building. Construction fires are hard to control due to the lack of fire protection, detection systems, large quantities of combustible materials on site, and lack of compartmentation. This presentation will discuss the high hazard activities on-site and methodologies to lower the risk. The presentation will include various case studies and examples (i.e. fires during roofing installation) to emphasize the hazards, review general mitigation strategies and trends by some jurisdictions to minimize the frequency/severity of construction fires. Also discussed will be updates to NFPA 241- Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration and Demolition Operations.
