Thermal Camera Implementation

With changes in 2022 to the HSE guidance HSG168 on fire safety in construction sites and updates to the Joint Code of Practice on the Protection from Fire of Construction Sites and Buildings Undergoing Renovation (Jan 2023), a review was carried out on procedures and policies. As part of this update changes were made to how hot works are carried out and the implementation of Fluke Thermal Cameras. With Fluke thermal cameras issues can be detected before they become problems.

The camera is used to visually record the area pre-works to demonstrate it has been cleared of any combustible materials.

Following hot works, and during any breaks, the camera is used to scan and provide a record of the site of the hot works, and the surrounding area, an hour after work has been completed. A hot reading might indicate a fire hazard, such as smouldering embers ignited by sparks.
