a conduct fire drills without the participation
of occupants.

ing exits for easy access.

d regularly inspect and maintain fire detection
and suppression systems.

Explanation:

To determine the best practice for fire safety at construction sites, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Fire drills need occupants' participation to be effective, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Blocking emergency exits is a safety hazard, not a best practice.
• Option C: Storing flammable materials near exits increases fire risk, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Regular inspection and maintenance of fire detection and suppression systems is a key best practice to ensure they function properly in case of fire.

Answer:

D. Regularly inspect and maintain fire detection and suppression systems.
