Yes, companies are required to prepare a fire safety plan. These regulations describe how fire prevention, evacuation and fire fighting are organised in the company. The fire safety plan must contain specific information on emergency exits, extinguishers, escape routes and the responsibilities of employees in the event of an emergency.
The exact obligations depend on the size and type of business, but some standard fire prevention measures are:
Check local laws and fire safety regulations for specific requirements.
You should conduct an evacuation drill at least once a year, depending on the risks and the nature of the activities within the company. Companies with a high fire risk, may be required to conduct these drills more often. The aim is to familiarise employees with emergency procedures and ensure that evacuation is as quick and safe as possible.
The fire safety prevention advisor is responsible for developing and implementing a fire safety policy within the company. The main tasks are:
Not every business is required to have a fire alarm system, but it depends on the type of activity, the size of the building and the risk factors. Companies in high-risk sectors are usually required to install an automatic fire detection system. For smaller businesses, installing smoke detectors is sometimes sufficient.
In most cases, you should have a fire extinguisher checked annually by an authorised firm. In addition to the annual check, it is important to have fire extinguishers replaced or thoroughly tested after every 10 years. Checking fire extinguishers regularly ensures that they function properly in case of fire.
The employer is ultimately responsible for fire safety in the company. It is the employer’s duty to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to minimise fire risks. This includes appointing a prevention advisor or fire safety officer, who monitors compliance and trains employees.
If a fire breaks out, follow these steps:
Yes, fire safety training is mandatory for employees, especially those with specific responsibilities, such as using fire extinguishers or coordinating an evacuation. In any case, all employees should be aware of fire procedures and know where emergency exits, extinguishers and assembly points are located. Periodic refresher training is also recommended.
Some key steps to improve fire safety include:
Prevom operates a fair and transparent policy – so there are no hidden or additional costs. Both professional and private customers always receive a valid VAT invoice.
A BA4 or BA5 certificate must always be issued by the employer. An external service is legally not allowed to do this.
In fact, it is the employer who certifies that the employee in question has the necessary skills.
Prevom can always assist you in dealing with the additional formalities involved in attestation.
