Organisational fire protection includes measures that supplement the structural and technical fire protection measures. The aim is also to prevent fires as far as possible and to protect people and property in the event of a fire.
Consequently, this is the third pillar of preventive fire protection.
Organisational fire protection: Goal
Organisational fire protection focuses on the "human factor". Accordingly, the focus is on the company's fire protection organisation. Thus, the implementation of company organisational fire protection is the responsibility of the employer.
Objectives at a glance:
- Minimisation of fire hazards
- Limitation of personal injury and property damage in the event of fire
- Safe evacuation of persons in case of emergency
Organisational fire protection: measures
The fire protection organisation in the company forms the basis of organisational fire protection. Consequently, the appointment of fire safety officers as well as fire safety and evacuation assistants are essential measures. Furthermore, organisational fire protection should prepare all employees specifically for an incident. Therefore, regular fire safety instruction and evacuation drills with all employees are important.
Important: Organisational fire protection is a joint task of all employees!
The behaviour of each employee contributes to reducing fire hazards and minimising personal injury and property damage in the event of a fire. For example, a wedged fire door is ineffective, a blocked emergency exit door is unusable or a fire extinguisher is useless without staff instruction.
Furthermore, the preparation of risk assessments, fire protection regulations and fire protection plans are also essential components of organisational fire protection. The measures in organisational fire protection are based on various regulations. These include the Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR A2.2) as well as various DIN specifications and DGUV information.
