Fire Prevention Strategy for Buildings in Construction

The purpose of this paper is to raise the standards of construction quality and to promote a safer construction environment for the working labor. So far, very little work has been done in this field in Taiwan. Therefore, this research will focus on case studies to determine the most likely factors that give rise to fires during building constructions. Both the systematic approach and the field survey will be used to formulate a proper strategy to prevent the fire hazard, and the results can be used by contractors and construction managers to address the trade-specific needs of education and training.
