Scope

This part of PAS 9970 applies to construction work conducted on construction sites that:

•           are scheduled to last longer than 30 working days and employ more than 20 people working simultaneously at any point, or

•           are scheduled to exceed 500 working days in total.

It provides recommendations and guidance on strategic fire safety practices for construction contractors. This includes the development and implementation of proportionate fire safety management systems to suitably and sufficiently manage organizational and site-specific fire safety risks.

This PAS does not apply to construction sites involving special hazards that present a high risk to life (e.g. large-scale petrochemical, nuclear, or high-explosive environments). Such environments might require additional or alternative fire safety precautions beyond those covered in this document.
