HSE GUIDE TARGETS DESIGNERS TO ELIMINATE FIRE RISKS AT PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published the third edition of its free-to-order Fire safety in construction book, which includes an added focus on eliminating or reducing fire risks at the design stage. The revised HSG168 publication, which is aimed at those responsible for procuring, designing, developing and managing construction sites, including clients and designers, explains how they can comply with their legal duties in relation to fire risks. The revision highlights specific guidance that covers the elimination and/or the reduction of fire risks at the pre-construction stage, which is required by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
