THE SIXTH EDITION AND ITS EFFECTIVE PROVISION

摘要

Major fires on construction sites and refurbished buildings have serious consequences: injury, damage to buildings, delays on site, completion dates not being met and resultant financial losses which are sure to occur. For these reasons the Construction Federation and Fire Prevention Association drew up a joint code of practice: Fire Prevention on Construction Sites, with the support of the Association of British Insurers, the Chief Fire Officer's Association and the London Fire Brigade. Fire, health and safety planning is essential to the efficient running of construction projects. The scope of the code extends to contracts with an original value of 2.5 million pounds plus and may form part of the insurance contract.
