Fire safety And Security On Construction Sites/Fire Protection Association

摘要

FIRE SAFETY AND SECURITY ON CONSTRUCTION SITES is another video from the extensive library of the Fire Protection Association (FPA). This one sets out to address the issues of fire safety on construction sites. Unsurprisingly, the video starts with a scene involving a new, but experienced, worker turning up for his first day of work on a construction site. This format is then used to take the viewer though a range of security and fire safety question and answer sets, using dialogue between the worker and the site safety officer. The video moves swiftly into a general overview of construction site security with a number of issues being raised, solutions provided and reasons given for them. I was not quite sure whether these were about site security or fire security - perhaps this does not matter, as for the most part they are one and the same. But any discussion of site security should probably address the issues of theft and misuse as well as fire. One section of the video tells us about the parking of site vehicles overnight although no clear security guidance is given on this issue. There is also no mention of control of personal tools and equipment or the problem of dealing with the subcontracting chain. Here I felt that some mention of passport schemes would not have gone amiss.
