Supervisory and preventive measures at construction sites of the district

Considering the developing operational situation, including the increase in fires (ignitions) at facilities of various forms of ownership, and the deterioration of weather conditions, with the aim of preventing emergencies, employees of the Beshenkovichi District Department for Emergency Situations (hereinafter referred to as the RDES) conducted supervisory and preventive measures (technical measures, raids, discussions, employee briefings, etc.) at construction sites in the district from October 10 to 25, 2022, primarily those with mobile (inventory) buildings (hereinafter referred to as buildings).

For reference:

Construction and installation work is currently underway at 6 facilities supervised by state fire supervision authorities, work at 5 more construction sites has been frozen (suspended), and approximately 25 facilities where permits for design and construction have been issued by competent authorities, but work has not yet begun.

During the reporting period of 2022, the employees of the RCHS (Regional Department for Emergency Situations) issued 2 proposals to suspend (prohibit) the activities of construction sites and 12 orders to both contracting and construction organizations during supervisory work at 10 construction sites.

No violations were identified during the work performed.

The most common violations at construction sites in 2022 were regulatory violations committed by contracting organizations, namely:

provision of primary fire extinguishing means or control over their serviceability;

cluttering of the territory with combustible waste and construction debris;

smoking outside specially designated areas;

presence of heating stoves in temporary accommodation units that do not meet the specified requirements;

storage (keeping) of flammable materials (construction structures) within the established fire breaks, etc.

We would like to remind you of the strict adherence to the requirements of regulatory documents in the field of fire safety, both during the construction and installation work and during the design of these facilities.

For reference:

The main fire safety requirements for construction and installation work are specified in the following documents:

"Specific requirements for ensuring fire safety of explosive and fire-hazardous production facilities", approved by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus of 20.11.2019 No. 779;

"General fire safety requirements for the maintenance and operation of capital structures (buildings, structures), isolated premises and other facilities owned by business entities", approved by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus of 23.11.2017 No. 7.

We recommend that owners of construction objects (developers), in order to prevent possible emergencies, as well as problems during the acceptance of a construction object into operation, analyze the progress of construction and installation work and design, and in case of any questions, contact a competent authority for consultation.
