When should a fire safety assessment be conducted?

Conducting a fire safety assessment before construction begins and periodically throughout the project is vital for ensuring that fire safety measures are integrated into the construction process from the outset. This proactive approach allows for the identification of potential fire hazards, development of effective mitigation strategies, and the establishment of safety protocols that can adapt as the project evolves. Regular assessments help maintain compliance with regulations and best practices, ensuring that safety measures are effective and updated as necessary throughout the construction process. This continual evaluation fosters a culture of safety and reduces the risk of fire incidents, which could have severe consequences for both workers and the surrounding community.
