Fire safety and evacuation assistants are of significant importance for every company. Together with the fire safety officer, they control the fire safety equipment in the company. They also provide support in the event of a fire by fighting incipient fires and assisting in the evacuation of the company.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG §5) and the Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR A2.2) stipulate that, as a rule, at least 5% of the workforce must be trained as fire protection and evacuation assistants.
In addition, regular follow-up training is required after 2 to 5 years for all fire protection and evacuation assistants in the company.
