Abstract :Construction projects are exposed to fire hazard in the same way as completed buildings. The risk of fire increases due to the presence of large amounts of combustible materials on construction sites, inadequately educated workers, welding, cutting, drilling processes during construction, and unfinished fire prevention and intervention systems. The aim of this study is to present the results of an analysis of the national and international scientific literature on the subject of “Construction site fire safety” in order to being able to cope with such fires correctly by means of drawing the attention of the authorities responsible, to the danger.
