BI-11-19034 (GCP’s)
BI-11-20034 (PWIS)
 Smoking
 Flammable Material
 Power
 Arson
 Incomplete Fire Protection.
8.1 ONSITE COOKING
According to NFPA, cooking equipment catching fire is responsible for 27% of construction
fires, more than any other cause.
8.2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
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.
8.5 CUTTING & WELDING
Prevention is better accomplished by the use of the permit system.
8.6 SPONTANEOUS IGNITION
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.
8.7 STATIC SPARKS
Ignition of flammable vapors by discharge of accumulated static electricity on equipment,

material or the human body is known as static sparks.
Prevention is accomplished by grounding, bonding, ionization and humidification.
8.8 HOT WORK
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

099 A EN PL B
(FPP)
EN-099-PL-1810
BI-11-19034 (GCP’s)
BI-11-20034 (PWIS)
equipment itself is combustible if a fire does start.
8.9 FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
Many jobsites store chemicals and/or flammable materials used in building.
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.
9.0 TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

 Class A : Combustible Ordinary e.g., Wood, Paper, Trash etc.
 Class B : Flammable Combustible e.g., Gasoline, Oil, Paint, Grease.
 Class C : Energized Electrical equipment.
10.0 FIRE PREVENTION STRATEGY
As part of Fire Prevention Strategy for storing and using

flammable and combustible liquid and gases, Contractor will B
intend to eliminate ignition sources (sparks, smoking, flames,
hot surfaces) when working with flammable and combustible
liquids. Use the smallest amount of flammable liquid
necessary in the work area. Keep storage areas cool and dry.
Store flammable and combustible liquids away from
incompatible materials (e.g., oxidizers).
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
Page 14 of 38
099 A EN PL B
(FPP)
EN-099-PL-1810
BI-11-19034 (GCP’s)
BI-11-20034 (PWIS)
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.
Considerations for Working with and Storing Flammable Liquids

 Know the locations of fire alarm pull stations, fire extinguishers, safety showers, and
other emergency equipment
 Read the MSDS for each flammable liquid prior to use and wear personal protective
equipment as indicated in the MSDS.
 Store flammable liquids in a flammable storage cabinet.
 When flammable liquids must be stored outside a flammable storage cabinet, use
approved safety cans whenever possible. They have spring-loaded lids and an internal
screen which prevents combustion of the contents.
 Do not use large polypropylene (“Nalgene”) containers with stopcocks or valves at the
bottom to store flammable liquids. These valves frequently leak and are unsafe in a fire.
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
Page 15 of 38
099 A EN PL B
(FPP)
EN-099-PL-1810
BI-11-19034 (GCP’s)
BI-11-20034 (PWIS)
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
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

(FPP)
EN-099-PL-1810
BI-11-19034 (GCP’s)
BI-11-20034 (PWIS)
- prevent, suppress and control sparks

- prevent, suppress and control heat
- provision of and training on suitable fire-fighting equipment
- provision of a separate person to fire-watch and use fire-fighting equipment – the
fire watcher
- particular precautions for special risks, e.g., confined space
- leave workplace clean and safe
- final check of area at least 60 minutes after completed job and certainly prior to
premises being vacated
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.
The possibility of arson should be considered as a component of risk assessment and it is

one that can do much to control. The majority of deliberately started fires occur in areas with
a known history of vandalism or fire-setting. Appropriate security measures, including the
protection of stored materials and the efficient and prompt removal of rubbish, can therefore
do much to alleviate this particular problem.
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

(FPP)
EN-099-PL-1810
BI-11-19034 (GCP’s)
BI-11-20034 (PWIS)
 Prevent access by unauthorized personnel

 Keep flammables properly stored and secured
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

Cleanliness and housekeeping

 In catering, clean ventilation ducts on a regular basis to prevent grease build-up
 Flammable or combustible rubbish should not be stored, even as a temporary measure,
in escape routes such as corridors, stairways or lobbies, or where it can come into
contact with potential sources of heat
 Parts of the workplace which are not normally occupied, such as store rooms and any
area where a fire could grow unnoticed, should be regularly inspected and cleared of
non-essential flammable materials and substances. You should also protect such areas
against entry by unauthorised people
 If the workplace has waste or derelict land nearby, keep any undergrowth under control
so that a fire cannot spread through dry grass, for example
 There should be no potential ignition sources in areas where flammable liquids are used
or stored and flammable concentrations of vapour may be present at any time. Any
electrical equipment used in these areas, including fire alarm and emergency lighting
systems, needs to be suitable for use in flammable atmospheres
REMOVED after receiving Company comments and discrepancies.
