Fire protection, what exactly is it? 

fire

Fire regulations are rules formally enshrined in law. They prescribe actions and measures for fire safety in the workplace. Entrepreneurs should follow the Fire Protection Act of 24 August 1991 when setting the rules in their company. Detailed information can also be found in the ordinances. 

Fire protection is intended to fulfil the objective of protecting life, health, property and the environment from natural disasters, fires or other hazards. 

We can include the following activities in PPE protection: 

  • Fire prevention; 
  • Prevention of natural disasters; 
  • Providing both the forces and resources necessary to combat them; 
  • Conducting rescue operations. 

Fire training. the employee is obliged to undergo no later than 6 months after starting work. The Fire Protection Act does not stipulate the frequency of such training. In theory, it is therefore sufficient to conduct them once.  

Ways of preventing fires and natural disasters 

The Fire Protection Act assumes that the main way to prevent fires or natural disasters is to do things to prevent them from happening. These include: 

  • Compliance with the prohibitions and orders contained in the Act; 
  • Controlling compliance with fire regulations.

  • Area emergency services; 
  • Military fire protection units; 
  • Municipal, city, county fire brigades.

You can receive fire training at the centre ERGON. We provide our clients with training that is delivered by specialised instructors.  

Obligations of the employer 

fire protection

One of the employer's first duties is to familiarise employees with the company's fire safety rules. According to the Labour Code, the employer must provide his employees with adequate means for fire fighting and evacuation. He must also delegate the employees responsible for carrying out these activities. The best solution is for both the employer and his employees to attend a fire safety course, especially the group responsible for evacuation measures in the company in question.
