What is it?

Hot works, temporary electrics, batteries on charge, stacked materials, blocked exits — construction sites are full of fire risks. The Fire Prevention & Emergency Procedures Template gives you a clear, ready-to-brief plan for preventing fires and responding fast if one starts. It’s built for small builders, sole traders and principal contractors who need a simple, professional, and defensible site fire plan.

Designed to support duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (as amended) and good practice for temporary sites — without the jargon.

⚠️ Note: This template supports compliance but doesn’t replace a competent fire risk assessment where required.

Why You Need It:

1️⃣ Prevent Fires Before They Start Practical controls for hot works, temporary heating, charging stations, housekeeping, and storage of combustibles — so ignition never meets fuel.
2️⃣ Make Evacuation Crystal Clear Simple, site-specific escape routes, assembly points, and role cards for wardens/marshals mean everyone knows what to do, even under pressure.
3️⃣ Equip People to Act — Safely Guidance on extinguisher selection and siting (water/CO₂/foam), when to fight vs. evacuate, and how to raise the alarm on sites with or without detectors.
4️⃣ Prove Your Duty of Care Includes drill records, briefing sign-offs, and inspection checklists to show clients, auditors and insurers that controls are in place and communicated.
5️⃣ Built for Real Sites Fits refurb, fit-out, and small works. Update it per project and reuse on the next job — quick to customise, easy to deliver in minutes.
