Fire Risk Assessment — Construction Site
Construction-phase fire risk assessment to the RRFSO 2005 and HSG168 — hazards, controls, action plan and emergency arrangements.
The construction-site fire risk assessment written to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and HSE HSG168. Works through ignition/fuel/oxygen sources, people at risk, a 10-point existing-precautions checklist (alarm, escape routes, extinguishers, hot-works permits, storage, housekeeping, electrics, smoking, emergency lighting, security), a risk-rated action plan, emergency arrangements, and a review trigger — because site fire risk changes as the building goes up.

Who has to be inducted on a construction site?
Everyone who works on the site, and visitors who go beyond the site office, before they start. CDM 2015 puts the duty on the principal contractor to make sure a suitable site induction is given. Guidance, not legal advice.
Can I put my own company name and logo on it?
Yes, it is yours to edit. If you would rather not fill it in by hand, SiteLynx builds the same document in about ten minutes with your branding, your crew sign it on their phones, and every plan is 14 days free.
