 Objective:

The Risk Assessment was carried out to identify operations, behavioral aspects of the individuals, tasks, and
processes which may lead to a foreseeable cause for a fire incident that may well harm the Employees and/or

➢ To identify operations, tasks, and processes which may foreseeably cause harm to employees
and/or others on the construction site (fire hazards).
➢ To identify the potential of the fire hazard being realized, and the potential consequences this
might then occur (risk).
➢ To enable a risk assessment to be developed which will assist in eliminating or reducing the
exposure of the workers and others to the risk.
➢ To Identify the Responsible parties in driving the actions proposed for rectification.
