Process fire precautions
Fire safety in construction, written by HSE and Published by TSO (The Stationery Office), Third Edition, 2022, defines process fire precautions as: ‘Special fire precautions, required in connection with the construction work being carried out (including the storage of articles, substances and materials relating to that work). They are to prevent or reduce the likelihood of a fire breaking out and if a fire does occur, to reduce its spread and intensity. Process fire precautions are always enforced by HSE for all HSE enforced premises and activities.’
