6 GENERAL

The overall Fire Prevention and Protection effort will be reviewed in the Project Development and
Planning process and all activities (i.e. drills, brigade size, etc.) shall be defined and sequenced on
the implementation timeline schedule.

At the onset of the project a Fire Management Plan will be prepared in consultation with the NT
Bushfires Council to address the hazards of bush fires and burning of excess vegetation during the
period of site clearing.

6.1 FIRE DETECTION AND WARNING

6.1.1 Portable Fire extinguishers will be used in buildings and as protection during Hot Work
activities throughout the site. As construction progresses and systems are commissioned
within specific buildings, personnel will be informed of the differential of alarm sounds.

6.1.2 Large office accommodation will be protected by the use of hard-wired smoke detection
devices with battery backup.

6.1.3 A suitable means of raising the alarm in the event of a fire or other emergency at the
DLNG site will be established. The alarm system will be appropriate to ensure all
personnel can be notified immediately of any emergency situation and evacuation, or other
actions required. The alarm system will be tested on a regular basis.

7 HOT WORK PERMITS

Bechtel will implement a permit to work system under which certain Open flame activities e.g.
welding, burning, grinding, may require a valid permit before commencing any Hot Work
activities, generally at start up time or hand over of systems. The Construction Superintendent may
however, use discretion as to when a hot work permit is required. In some situations it may be
advisable to appoint Fire Watchers having suitable fire fighting facilities available to enable a rapid
response to a fire.


8 SITE ACCOMMODATION

8.1 Site accommodation (all temporary facilities) shall be designed and laid out in such a
manner so as to reduce the risk of fire to the minimum.

8.2 Good housekeeping shall be observed at all times throughout buildings with desks cleared
at the end of each working day and sensitive documents locked away in flame proof
cabinets/ lockers.

8.3 All site accommodation shall have sufficient multi purpose (ABC) dry powder
extinguishers located at the access door with signs indicating their positions.

8.4 Additional CO
2
extinguishers shall be provided to cover electrical equipment such as
computers, photo copiers etc.

8.5 All fire extinguishers are visually checked on a regular basis through weekly area
inspections and quarterly in accordance with equipment tagging process. Documented
