Fire Safety During Contractors Operations
Work in Existing BBC Premises
Small works including
redecoration and repairs and maintenance can also involve hazardous
activities that need to be controlled. The extent to which the
above precautions apply in these cases depends upon the nature and
scale of the work, and this will need to be considered as part of
the assessment undertaken prior to the work
commencing.
A general 'Permit to
Work' scheme should be adopted in order to control works in
existing BBC premises. This should identify if additional permits
need to be issued e.g. for isolation of fire systems or temporary
disablement of other fire protection measures.
