保护您的施工现场免受火灾，水和盗窃的侵害

工作日结束很久之后，建筑工地的风险仍在继续，因为火灾，盗窃和水可能会造成重大财产损失，并可能延迟项目时间表和影响预算。存在可燃材料，缺乏有效的安全控制和不稳定的结构元素会使站点更容易受到损失。正在建造或翻新的建筑物特别容易受到影响恶劣的天气. This increased risk, along with daily changes in construction activities and building progress, presents a unique challenge to those in charge of managing site protection.

火灾风险和控制

As mentioned above, buildings under construction have a greater potential for significant property damage from fire, especially beforefire suppression systems已安装和运行。通过围栏围栏来避免访问现场，以避免故意破坏和其他损失。这些准则可以帮助减少fi的风险re on site.

• “热门工作”– cutting, welding and grinding.许多施工大火是由于火炬在切割，焊接，屋顶工作，燃烧和焊接的不当使用引起的。承包商应根据NFPA 241的所有行业和分包商开发和执行正式的书面，热工作许可系统，Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations.
• Smoking.粗心的吸烟是引起火灾的主要原因。为了减少火灾的机会，应禁止在任何建筑物内，在可燃材料和燃料存储附近的外部进行吸烟，并严格执行。“没有吸烟”的标志应在所有入境点上张贴。如果允许吸烟，则应仅允许在指定区域中进行吸烟。
• 临时加热设备。Depending on weather conditions, temporary heat (propane, kerosene or electric) may be used on job sites. If this equipment is not kept clear of combustibles, set up incorrectly or not functioning properly, it can cause a fire. Ensure all heating equipment is listed and approved for its intended use, placing temporary heaters only on non-combustible flooring or platforms and keeping areas around space heaters clear of combustibles.
• Temporary electrical writing and temporary lighting.许多火灾是通过不当安装或维护的临时电气系统开始的。应按照国家消防协会（NFPA）的要求安装临时电线和设备，以进行光，热或电源。国家电气密码and inspected regularly by a qualified electrician.
• 火灾抑制系统。Permanentfire suppression systemsare often not in place or operational on construction sites. It is critical that fire protection systems be installed early and plans developed to provide temporary protection during the course of the project.
• Fire extinguishers.Fire extinguishers can be the first line of defense for combating a fire on a construction site. Mount灭火器适用于明显位置的条件和危害，在每个可用楼梯的每个楼层和使用培训员工的使用。

• 走od housekeeping.不良的家政习惯在许多建筑工地上造成了火灾危害。废物和垃圾不应存储或允许在建筑物或附近堆积，应每天从房屋中删除。保持垃圾箱与结构的安全距离。

水损坏风险和控制

Damage caused by water, whether it is from a pipe leak, weather event or act of vandalism, has become the most common cause of loss on building construction projects. Conduct a job site-specific assessment to identify all the possible sources of water, and develop a water damage prevention plan.

• Prevention.避免损失从水损害是最好的办法prevent unwanted water from entering the building. Residential buildings, especially high-rises, present a great risk for water issues because they include more plumbing and bathrooms, making them predisposed to an increase in water damage losses without the proper controls. Potential sources of unwanted water include temporary roofs, balconies, domestic water service, HVAC and fire suppression piping systems. Follow construction specifications, quality control testing and conduct periodic inspections as part of planning to prevent water damage.
• Detection.Early detection of uncontrolled water inside a building can limit the amount of damage should a leak occur. In addition to instructing workers to report potential leaks to site management, electronic flow/leak detection systems or security guard services can aid in early detection and response.

• 回复。A water damage response plan, including equipment, should be readily available to identify and arm resources with a swift-response guide to help address the water issue before it spreads.

Theft, Vandalism & Unauthorized Entry

建筑工地是盗窃，故意破坏和其他未经授权的入境的主要目标，这可能导致现场正在进行的工作，设备和材料的损失或损坏。承包商和开发商可以通过制定犯罪/盗窃预防计划来解决这一暴露。预防犯罪/盗窃计划始于理解该地区犯罪的潜力（盗窃，盗窃，纵火和破坏）。这项审查将有助于开发确保站点所需的各种预防盗窃层。

• Physical barriers.The front line of defense for a construction site is establishing effective physical barriers and access control to prevent trespassers from accessing the site. This can include full perimeter fencing, locked access gates, interior and exterior lighting and warning signs.
• Electronic surveillance systems.Continuously monitored motion-activated detection systems, when installed properly, can help to ward off intruders and prevent losses. In addition to the building under construction, you should monitor structures such as office trailers and materials storage areas and containers. Other types of sensors and alarms can be added to many systems such as temperature, water flow, glass break and electrical service.
• 保安服务。A qualified and insured security guard service should be used be on construction sites to provide an on-site presence during non-working hours, particularly in high crime areas or where values warrant. An effective security service should document periodic rounds of the site, monitor all access points and conditions with clear response and notification procedures to local authorities and site management.
• Project materials management.材料和设备通常在建筑物甚至关闭和天气紧张之前就可以交付到建筑项目中，这使其成为小偷的容易目标，因为它可以从毫无戒心的买家中迅速转化为现金。如果可能的话，计划材料的及时交付，并将其存储在安全的位置中，以降低盗窃的风险。
