March 23, 2009—Planning for fire safety during construction is the focus of an article authored by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Mat Chibbaro, P.E., in the winter 2009 edition of Fire Protection Engineering magazine.
In “Construction Fire Safety: Phase by Phase,” Chibbaro examines the protection and prevention features of different construction phases, and describes how the fire protection engineer can play a role in efficiently and effectively implementing these features.
OSHA notes that many of the same concepts are useful for construction companies, building officials, compliance officers, and fire officials.
