Construction Site Fire Safety Manager

---

When it comes to construction in New York City, safety is more than a priority—it's a legal requirement. And among the myriad safety measures that keep a project on track and under budget, the role of a Construction Site Fire Safety Manager (CSFSM) stands out as one of the most critical. At AMS Safety, we provide licensed, experienced fire safety managers who are dedicated to ensuring your site not only meets regulatory standards but also operates as a safe environment for everyone involved.

Construction sites are inherently high-risk environments. The combination of flammable materials, hot work, temporary electrical installations, and evolving site conditions creates a perfect storm for potential fire hazards. In a densely populated city like New York, the stakes are even higher. A fire on a construction site doesn't just threaten the safety of workers; it can endanger neighboring buildings, disrupt traffic, and cause significant damage to both property and reputation.

The New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) and the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) enforce some of the most stringent fire safety regulations in the country. All construction sites in NYC must comply with these regulations, which mandate the presence of a qualified fire safety manager on site. This professional is responsible for overseeing all fire safety measures, conducting regular fire safety inspections, and ensuring compliance with local laws such as NYC Local Law 196 and FDNY rules.

A Construction Site Fire Safety Manager (CSFSM) is not just a regulatory requirement but a vital asset to any construction project. Their responsibilities include:

• Conducting Fire Risk Assessments: Identifying potential fire hazards and implementing measures to mitigate risks.
• Developing and Enforcing Fire Safety Plans: Crafting comprehensive fire safety plans tailored to the specific needs and challenges of the site.
• Supervising Hot Work Operations: Overseeing hot work such as welding and cutting, which are common causes of construction fires.
• Ensuring Proper Storage and Handling of Flammable Materials: Monitoring the storage and handling of hazardous materials to prevent fire incidents.
• Conducting Regular Fire Drills and Training: Educating site personnel on fire prevention practices and emergency response procedures.
• Coordinating with Emergency Services: Acting as the primary liaison with the FDNY and other emergency services in the event of an incident.
