Fire prevention - contractors
Contractors must:
Have hot work permits
Work to their method statement
Use up-to-date, tested, electrical
equipment
Be made aware of Company fire
procedures, including how to
raise the alarm.
Fire prevention
• Good housekeeping:
• Remove waste regularly
• Keep dust and lint from accumulating
• Keep electrical cables tidy and fully
uncoiled if on a reel
• Keep combustible storage to a minimum
• Store combustible products away from
ignition sources
• End-of-shift checks
• Keep extinguishers, Call Points and
signage clear at all times and easily
accessible.
