Construction fire risk changes hourly

Continuous detection becomes a control when it is connected to an owner, a measured response, escalation and verified closure.

A changing risk needs continuous evidence

Construction conditions change across shifts, trades and project phases. A camera or sensor becomes a meaningful fire control only when its signal reaches an accountable owner, triggers a measured response and produces evidence of escalation and closure.

Reported observations

These are cohort observations reported by the research authors. They do not establish a guaranteed outcome or entitlement for any contractor, project or insurance program.

  • The representative contractor sample reported 67% fewer small fire incidents below the policy deductible.
  • Large fire losses were prevented across the observed cohort.
  • The research reported an 80% relative reduction in the fire-related loss ratio.

System, evidence and action

The model connects an ISO 45001 management system, field evidence from IoT, AI-assisted recognition and an operational response. The research also cites NFPA construction-fire data and peer-reviewed work on computer-vision recognition.
