Written by the Fire Protection Association (FPA), the Joint Code of Practice (JCoP) provides the construction industry with best practice guidance for fire safety on sites to ensure the risk to both site operatives and the building/structure under construction are minimised.
The Joint Code of Practice was launched and first published in 1992. It has evolved over the years to ensure it captures the guidance driven by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), latest test standards and new technology, and it is currently supported by industry recognised Groups and Bodies such as:
- Build UK
- Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA)
- Construction Insurance Risk Engineers Group (CIREG)
- Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
- National Federation of Builders (NFB)
- Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
- Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
- Scottish Building Federation (SBF)
