HSE to target designers

Focus on fire risks. The HSE had updated its free Fire safety in construction book, which includes an added focus on eliminating or reducing fire risks at the design stage.

Who is this aimed at? The revised HSG168 publication is aimed at those responsible for procuring, designing, developing and managing construction sites, including clients and designers. It explains how they can comply with their legal duties in relation to fire risks (see The next step ).

Update. 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 .

For a link to HSG168, visit https://www.tips-and-advice.co.uk , Download Zone, year 21, issue 01.

The purpose of the revision is to reduce risks as early as possible (and where practicable) to prevent fires starting, both during construction and when the building is being used for its intended purpose.
