Discover the equipment construction professionals rely on every day

Construction sites are fast-moving environments where fire risks can change daily. Hot works, temporary electrics, fuel storage, timber, insulation, adhesives and site cabins can all increase the risk of fire before permanent systems are in place.

That’s why having the right temporary fire safety equipment is essential. From fire extinguishers and fire points to site alarms, contractor stands and construction fire safety packs, we provide practical solutions to help keep your site compliant, protected and ready to respond.

Common Fire Risks on Construction Sites

Hot works and welding
Cutting, grinding, soldering and welding can create sparks, heat and ignition sources.

Temporary electrics
Portable electrical systems, generators, chargers and temporary lighting can increase fire risk.

Combustible materials
Timber, packaging, insulation, adhesives, paints and fuels can allow fires to spread quickly.

Temporary buildings and site cabins
Cabins, welfare units and storage areas often contain heaters, electrics and combustible contents.

Limited protection during construction
Sites may not yet have permanent fire detection, alarms, compartmentation or sprinklers installed.
