Fire Warden Course

Fire Warden Course

 

In order to ensure effective fire safety, all companies have to appoint a sufficient number of employees in accordance with the legal requirements who can ensure evacuation and fight developing fires. This number of employees must be in proportion to the total number of employees and the hazards of the company. According to §10 ArbSchG and ASR 2.2, para. 6.2, at least 5% of the employees must be trained as fire wardens!  In addition, a sufficient number of employees must be trained in the use of fire extinguishing equipment.

 

The course is targeted at the following group of participants:

  • Employees who are to be or already are responsible for fire safety duties
  • Technical and administrative staff
  • Occupational safety officers

 

We provide you with the knowledge of all relevant aspects of preventive, defensive and organisational fire safety according to the Occupational Health and Safety Act and DGUV 205-023.
