Our mode of operation
Data collection
We collect all data from the building and its surroundings during a site visit.
Preparation of an intervention file is a legal obligation (according to Codex Book III, Title 3) that ensures public 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.
Every employer (companies, schools, hospitals, town halls, libraries, tourist accommodations, retirement homes, etc.) is obliged to have an intervention file. Especially buildings and organizations with an increased risk in particular should draw up an intervention file as quickly as possible. Drawing up an intervention file is therefore of great importance for a wide range of institutions.
