minimum requirements and control measures necessary to prevent fire incidents, minimize fire - related risks, protect personnel, property, equipment, and the environment, and ensure effective emergency response during all project activities. The plan also aims to ensure that all employees, subcontractors, visito rs, and suppliers understand their responsibilities in maintaining a safe work environment and preventing fire hazards throughout the project lifecycle. 2 SCOPE This Fire Prevention Plan applies to all project activities, personnel, subcontractors, vendors, visitors, temporary facilities, equipment, and work areas under the control of Abyatona Development Contracting Company at the project site. This plan shall be implemented throughout all phases of the project including mobilization, construction, testing and commissioning, and demobilization activities. 3 EXECUTIONS OF REQUIREMENTS 3.1 GENERAL ABD Fire safety plan and fire risk assessment for the works which include key personnel and responsibilities, arrangements for managing fire hazards, reducing fire risk, f ire prevention and detection systems, training and competence and emergency arrangements and response. ABD must ensure the fire risks associated with all stages of the project are effectively managed with consideration to the following requirements: • Fire safety standards must meet the requirements of Saudi Building Code 801 for Fire Safety during Construction and Demolition Works. • No controlled or uncontrolled fires will be allowed on any site. • A byatona must implement, and maintain strict housekeeping practices as an integral part of daily activities. • Combustible and flammable waste must not be allowed to accumulate in any work area. • Scrap and combustible materials must be removed from structures, partly completed buildings, and completed buildings as soon as it is generated. • Flammable and combustible materials must not be stacked or stored against any temporary or permanent building, structure, or storage facility. • Rags, fabric, and timber contaminated with any hydrocarbon product must be contained in a closed metal container and removed daily from the workplace to a safe disposal area. • Smoking will be strictly prohibited in specific areas and buildings. Areas where smoking is permitted (designated areas) will be clearly identified and smoking will not be permitted in all other areas. ➢ Fire prevention and protection program is to ensure that a fire does not occur, cause an unacceptable onsite or offsite release of hazardous material, or threaten employee health or safety, public health or safety, or the environment. ➢ Emergency plans will be studied to ensure that the plans adequately protect all persons and material in case of a fire. 3.1.1 FIRE PREVENTION STRATEGY AND OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this Fire Prevention Plan is to eliminate or minimize the likelihood of fire occurrence through proactive hazard identification, engineering controls, administrative controls, safe work practices, and continuous monitoring.
