Portable Accommodation and Temporary Buildings Checklist

This checklist helps organizations assess and manage risks for portable accommodation units and temporary buildings. It covers planning and approvals, delivery timing, unit stacking, siting and separation distances, roof and structural loading, fire performance and protection, impact on existing life-safety systems, security exposures, and updates to risk, health and safety, and business impact assessments. It includes checks for emergency lighting, alarms, automatic detection or suppression, housekeeping and waste control, vegetation clearance, and regular inspections. Operational hazards addressed include cooking facilities, sanitation and water systems, gas supplies and cylinder handling, hot work and smoking prohibitions, and end-of-shift security and isolation. It also guides tracking of removal dates and formal decommissioning to align with Aviva Loss Prevention Standards.
