Abstract
Construction sites face significant fire safety challenges due to flammable materials, hot work, a dynamic environment, and large workforces. Despite efforts to improve construction safety, fire incidents continue to pose a significant risk to construction workers, properties, and surrounding buildings. This paper aims to identify and prioritize current construction fire safety challenges and further guide future research directions. A structured hybrid workshop was conducted to gather insights from relevant stakeholders across industry, health and safety organizations, and standards organizations. Prior to the workshop, challenges were identified through literature and an online survey completed by participants. In the first part of the workshop, participants ranked the challenges individually, and the mean rank of each challenge was calculated. In the second part, participants were divided into four groups, and a new ranking was generated through group discussions. Finally, an open discussion between different groups provided further insights. This study identified 29 challenges across four broader categories: incident investigation, risk assessment, risk response planning, and monitoring and detection. The top challenges in each category were: incomplete analysis of contributing factors, unclear relationship between risk factors and fire outcomes, lack of training in recognizing fire hazards, and limitations of manual fire watches. By identifying key and urgent challenges, this study provides valuable insights for the further improvement of construction fire safety.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
