The Construction Fire Risk Assessment is a critical document required for construction projects in South Africa, designed to identify, evaluate, and mitigate fire-related risks during construction activities. It is mandated by various South African regulations, including the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 103 of 1977, SANS 10400-T: 2011, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993. This assessment must be conducted before construction begins and updated throughout the project lifecycle. It encompasses detailed analysis of potential fire hazards, prevention strategies, emergency response procedures, and compliance requirements specific to the construction environment. The document serves as both a legal requirement and a practical tool for ensuring fire safety during construction, protecting workers, property, and adjacent structures.
