Our mode of operation
Data collection
We collect all data from the building and its surroundings during a site visit.
The preparation of an intervention file and intervention plan is a legal obligation (according to Codex Book III, Title 3) that ensures that emergency services can act quickly and efficiently during emergencies.
Time is of the essence in fire incidents, and the intervention file provides the fire service of the local fire zone with all the necessary information about the specific building before an intervention.
Elke werkgever (bedrijven, scholen, ziekenhuizen, gemeentehuizen, bibliotheken, toeristische verblijfplaatsen, rusthuizen,…) is verplicht om een interventiedossier te hebben. Especially buildings and organizations with an increased risk in particular should draw up an intervention file as quickly as possible. Thus, preparing an intervention file & intervention plan is of great importance for a wide range of institutions.
Preparing the intervention file
Based on this data, we will compile your file (intervention plan) in accordance with laws and regulations (including zonal and police regulations).
