Incomplete Fire Protection.
According to NFPA, cooking equipment catching fire is responsible for 27% of construction
fires, more than any other cause.
Most fires start in wiring and motors which can be prevented by proper maintenance. Special
attention must be paid for use of equipment in hazardous area.
8.3 SMOKING
This is a matter of control and education. It will be allowed only in designated areas and will
be strictly forbidden in hazardous areas.
8.4 FRICTION
Hot bearings, miss-aligned or broken machine parts can cause fires. Such fires can be
prevented by proper inspection and maintenance.
Possible in the case of rubbish exposed to high temperatures, pyrophoric iron materials
when exposed to Oxygen. Prevention is best accomplished by good housekeeping and
following procedures for specific jobs.
This work includes soldering, grinding, and welding, where the equipment remains hot after
the work has been completed. It’s not just the lingering heat that can cause a spark, the

8.10 ARSON
Intentional fires can be fairly common on jobsites. Arson happens in the course of theft or
simply as an act of vandalism.
Hazard Description
Flammable and combustible liquids are easily ignited and difficult to extinguish. Combustible
liquids required heating for ignition and are easier to extinguish. Flammable and combustible
liquids produce a high heat release rate once ignited (i.e., fires produce high temperatures
in a short period of time), and associated fires spread rapidly. Vapors from flammable and
combustible liquids can be present at room temperature and can form explosive mixtures
with air. Some liquids are unstable or very reactive (e.g., burn when exposed to air without
an ignition source, susceptible to spontaneous heating, react violently with other materials
including water). These characteristics combine to create a significant fire and/or explosion
hazard. Since the vapors generated from flammable liquids are most often heavier than air,
they will seek the lowest available level in a building. This movement of vapors can produce
potentially dangerous conditions far removed from the actual vapor source. Flammable
vapor, if not removed by ventilation, can flow to an ignition source and flash back to the
vapor source. The volatility of the liquid is increased when externally heated at or above its
flash point. Overall, an increase in temperature will increase the hazard created by a
flammable or combustible liquid by increasing its vapor’s flammable range. Due to this,
heated Class II and Class III liquids should be subject to all applicable requirements for
Class I and Class II liquids respectively. Combustible liquids vaporize and form flammable
mixtures with air in open containers, when leaks occur, or when heated. To control these

potential hazards, several properties of these materials, such as volatility, flashpoint, and
flammability range and auto ignition temperatures must be understood. Information on the
properties of a specific liquid can be found in that liquid’s material safety data sheet (MSDS),
or other reference material.
Storage
Storage of Flammable & combustible Liquids and gases if taken out of approved storage
area to site must be as minimum as possible, keeping in mind that it is used during the
workday.
NO Storage of Flammable & combustible Liquids and gases should be left at site
unattended or after the end of work and must be removed to the approved storage area.
Storage of flammable liquids or other hazardous chemicals on floors should be extremely
limited. When storage on floors is unavoidable, secondary containment bins that can B
contain at least 110% of the volume of the largest container being stored are required.
Storage of flammable liquids must not block any route of egress.
Heat Safeguards
Ensure employees are aware of their responsibility to report dangers
Control sources of ignition
Have chimneys inspected and cleaned regularly
Treat independent building uses, such as an office over a shop as separate purpose
groups and therefore compartmentalise from each other
Ensure cooking food is always attended

Smoking
Provide no-smoking signs at appropriate locations
Ensure smoking area(s) are away from flammable materials
Arrange for cigarettes and matches to be disposed of safely and away from other
combustible rubbish
Plant and equipment which is not properly maintained can cause fires.
Ensure all work equipment protects against catching fire or overheating
Ensure proper housekeeping, such as preventing ventilation points on machinery
becoming clogged with dust or other materials - causing overheating
Have electrical equipment serviced regularly by a competent person to prevent sparks
and fires
Properly clean and maintain heat producing equipment such as burners, heat
exchangers, ovens, and stoves. Require storage of flammables away from this
equipment.
Use a planned maintenance programme to properly maintain plant and equipment.
Review programme regularly.
A planned maintenance programme should deal with
- frictional heat (caused by loose drive belts, bearings which are not properly
lubricated or other moving parts)
- electrical malfunction
- flammable materials used in contact with hot surfaces
- leaking valves or flanges which allow seepage of flammable liquids or gases
- static sparks (perhaps due to inadequate electrical earthing)
Hot Work
Identify all hot work
Only allow hot work if no satisfactory alternative
Ensure relevant contractors are aware of hot work procedures and controls
Use a hot work permit system including
- fire-resistant protective clothing
- clear responsibility
- logging and audit processes
- routine checking and supervision
- item to be worked on removed to safe area
- remove or protect combustible or flammable materials

Electrical safety
All electrical equipment and installations designed, constructed, installed, maintained,
protected, and used to prevent danger
Get a qualified electrical contractor to carry out installation and repairs to electrical
equipment and fittings
Maintain proper pest control to avoid rodent damage to electric wiring and equipment
Check electrical equipment and remove defective equipment
Ensure electrical cords are in good condition
Plug appliances and lights into separate electrical outlets
Avoid using extension cords. If you require an outlet in an area where there is none, have
one installed by a qualified electrician.
Use extension cords safety - not under carpets or across walking areas
Use only one device per outlet
Arson
Deliberately started fires pose very significant risks to all types of workplaces.
Contractor therefore seek advice from the local police or the fire authority who will involve
the other agencies as appropriate. Occasionally, arson attacks in the workplace are
committed by employees or ex-employees. Employers and other workers should be aware
of this potential threat and be alert for early signs, such as a series of unexplained small
fires. Again, the local authority can provide further useful guidance.
Provide adequate security: exterior/interior lighting, intrusion alarms, guard service, well-
secured access openings

Flammable materials
Identify all flammable materials so that proper controls can be put in place
Identify use of substances with flammable vapours (e.g., some adhesives)
Reduce quantities of flammable materials to the smallest amount necessary for working
at site and keep away from escape routes
Replace highly flammable materials with less flammable ones
Store remaining stocks of highly flammable materials properly outside, in a separate
Company approved storage area, or separated from the main workplace by fire-resisting
construction
Provide clearly marked separate storage for flammable chemicals, gas cylinders, and
waste materials
Train employees on safe storage, handling and use of flammable materials
Keep stocks of office stationery and supplies and flammable cleaners' materials in
separate cupboards or stores. They should be fire-resisting if they open onto a corridor
or stairway escape route.
Flammable liquids
Flammable liquids can present a significant risk of fire. Vapours evolved are usually heavier
than air and can travel long distances, so are more likely to reach a source of ignition. Liquid
leaks and dangerous vapours can arise from faulty storage (bulk and containers), plant and
process - design, installation, maintenance or use. Ignition of the vapours from flammable
liquids remains a possibility until the concentration of the vapour in the air has reduced to a
level which will not support combustion.
The quantity of flammable liquids at site should be kept to a minimum, normally no more
than a half-day's or half a shifts supply
Flammable liquids, including empty or part-used containers, should be stored safely.
Small quantities (Tens of Litres) of flammable liquids can be stored in approved storage
area / arrangements if in closed containers in a fire-resisting (e.g., metal), bin or cabinet
fitted with means to contain any leaks
Flammable liquids should not be decanted within the store. Decanting should take place
in a well-ventilated area set aside for this purpose, with appropriate facilities to contain
and clear up any spillage
Container lids should always be replaced after use, and no container should ever be
opened in such a way that it cannot be safely resealed
Flammable liquids should be stored and handled in well ventilated conditions. Where
necessary, additional properly designed exhaust ventilation should be provided to
reduce the level of vapour concentration in the air
