Construction Site Risk Assessment

Fire Risk Assessments for Construction Sites & CDM Projects

02 March 2026 |

Construction sites present unique fire risks:

  • Temporary electrics
  • Hot works
  • Fuel storage
  • Rapidly changing layouts
  • Multiple contractors

Under CDM regulations, fire planning must form part of the Construction Phase Plan.

Our CDM Consultancy services ensure fire safety is embedded from pre-construction stage onwards, with clear duty-holder responsibilities.

We regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments for construction projects across London and Essex, ensuring:

  • Emergency arrangements are practical
  • Escape routes adapt as the site evolves
  • Hot works controls are documented
  • Responsibilities are clearly assigned

Fire safety on construction sites should never be reactive.
It must be planned.
