TIMBER
Safety Solutions for Timber-frame Construction
Timber-frame construction, like traditional steel or concrete builds, presents numerous safety risks such as working at height, lone working, and fire hazards.
However, these dangers are amplified in timber-frame environments, where the risk of fire and water damage can escalate more rapidly. Ensuring worker safety is critical, with a need for immediate response to emergencies and efficient evacuation procedures. Our advanced Timber Construction Safety Solutions, including the WES wireless evacuation system and REACT real-time alert platform, are designed to meet the unique challenges of timber-frame construction, offering rapid fire detection, real-time emergency alerts, and seamless evacuation systems. Engineered to the highest standards of compliance, our solutions provide the robust protection required to safeguard workers and sites in these high-risk environments.

INSIGHTS
Reducing risk in timber-frame construction
Construction is one of the world’s most dangerous industries to work in. While there are clear regulations in place that are rigorously monitored, incidents are still inevitable either through accidental or intentional means. This puts both lives and environments at risk.
42%
of fires in structures under construction are caused by electrical distribution and lighting equipment, highlighting the importance of robust fire protection for timber and other buildings during construction. Source
11
An estimated 11 fires occur on UK construction sites every day, many involving timber-frame structures, leading to approximately £400 million in losses annually. Source
30%
30% of builders’ risk insurance claims are caused by water damage on construction sites, often as a result of leaks or firefighting operations on vulnerable structures like timber-frame buildings. Source
