This session was recorded at Fire Safety Matters Live London in March 2026. Dan Martin, a fire safety manager for the construction industry, presented a comprehensive overview of fire risks and safety management on construction sites, highlighting real incidents and best practices.
He emphasised three critical areas—planning, process, and people—explaining how early engagement with fire consultants and proper risk assessments can significantly reduce construction site fires, and stressed the importance of competent fire risk assessors who understand the unique challenges of dynamic construction environments.
