An Examination of Fire Safety Regulation in Construction Sites

Abstract

In this article the authors intended to focus on fire protection during construction of buildings, and to discuss fire-related issues and studies from the perspective of their practical experience, furthermore, to discuss cases published in media reports. They compare the domestic legal requirements with pieces of Western European legislation, whereby their goal is to provide a general, thought-provoking description, thus highlighting the presence of risks and the need for prevention, raising awareness for the urgency of changes and the responsibility of the legislation, and finally, strengthening carefulness, which may result in greater safety during the constructions.
