The Fire protection Association has published Hot Work information for decades including electronic forms. Their guide to construction site fire safety is often part of contractual obligations to insurers.

This fire just shows the lack of management the government puts in place on these major projects. Let's hope we do not follow Greece and end up with fatalities during the olympics work.

So it was an accident, so it's ok, is it? Remember accidents are caused, they do not just happen.

Workplace Law Network published a white paper yesterday called "Hot Work Permits: minimising the risks".

In my opinion there should have been a hot works permit before the work commences as is general practice in these situations.
