As part of the fire safety measures defined in ASR A2.2, employers are required to appoint a sufficient number of fire safety and evacuation assistants to help evacuate the premises and fight incipient fires in an emergency. Depending on the fire risk, at least 5-10% of employees must be trained as fire safety assistants – taking into account absences due to annual leave, illness and shift work.
This training course takes around 4 hours to complete. TÜV Hessen’s experts will teach you all essential aspects of fire prevention, fire response and organisational fire safety – including hands-on extinguisher training – and show you how to effectively evacuate people in an emergency.
Please note: All training courses for fire safety and evacuation assistants will be in german.
Additional dates available upon request.
