How frequently should the construction site pre-fire plan be developed and maintained?

The construction site pre-fire plan should be developed and maintained as needed. This approach allows for the pre-fire plan to remain relevant and effective. During the construction process, the dynamics of the site can change significantly, with the addition of new structures, materials, and personnel. Therefore, it is crucial to review and revise the pre-fire plan in response to these changes, ensuring that it accurately reflects current conditions and potential fire hazards.

The frequency of daily, weekly, or monthly updates may not be pragmatic given the variability of construction activities, which might not warrant such regular revisions. Instead, focusing on updating the plan “as needed” promotes a more tailored and responsive strategy to fire safety on construction sites. This ensures that all team members are aware of any new risks or updated procedures that could influence their safety and emergency response efforts.
