Fire safety is essential in any working environment. Fire safety assistants play a crucial role in this by acting quickly and effectively in an emergency.
But how often do fire safety assistants need to be trained to maintain their skills and meet the ever-changing requirements?
According to the guidelines of DGUV information 205-023 “Fire safety assistants - training and qualification” of the German Social Accident Insurance, it is recommended that all fire safety assistants should receive refresher training every 3-5 years.
This recommendation is based on the realization that regular training is crucial to ensure safety in the workplace.
However, refresher courses should take place at shorter intervals if significant operational changes occur. These include
The specific intervals for refreshing fire safety assistants should be determined by the employer in accordance with the risk assessment.
Regular refresher training not only serves to ensure safety in the company. Further training also ensures that recognition from insurance companies, employers' liability insurance associations and other relevant institutions is maintained.
