Why is fire safety training necessary?
Every employer is responsible for the safety of its employees and the protection of their life and health. In accordance with art. 209 par. 1 pt. 2 of the Labour Code, the employer is obliged to provide his employees with the necessary means to fight fires and evacuate, and should appoint employees who will perform tasks in this regard. Thanks to our courses, your employees will acquire the necessary knowledge and will always be properly prepared to respond to emergency situations. It is important that the employee delegated to these tasks, is familiar with the instructions for the use of fire-fighting equipment, evacuation rules and assistance in the event of burns. Knowledge of fire safety rules can help to avoid many risks. It is worth knowing that according to Article 9 of the Fire Protection Act: "Anyone who notices a fire, natural disaster or other local danger is obliged to immediately notify persons in the danger zone and the rescue notification centre or the fire protection unit, or the Police or the village head or the mayor."
Legislation and employer's obligations in the field of fire protection
The employer, according to the Fire Protection Act of 24.08.1991, should ensure that all persons in the workplace are safe and able to evacuate the place of danger of fire. In addition, it should designate employees responsible for evacuation and firefighting actions in case of danger. It is understood that where a company occupies several floors, there should be two people per floor who have received fire safety training and are responsible for fire protection. These employees should be properly trained in fire safety and health and safety. The details of the persons with fire protection powers, should be made available, i.e. their names and telephone numbers, should be displayed in a visible place. According to the Labour Code, the employer is obliged to determine the level of fire risk, in relation to all workplaces in the company, and to formulate rules of conduct to avoid the risk and possible danger. Employees should take part in fire safety training as part of their health and safety training and be proficient in fire regulations.
Fire protection equipment
The employer should take care of the fire safety of the workplace and employees, regardless of whether it is the tenant of the building or its owner. If the premises are rented, the fire safety conditions should be included in the rental agreement. It is very important that the workplace has smoke detection equipment, i.e. smoke detectors and elevated temperature detectors.
SPS
A SSP is a signalling system that activates an alarm in the event of a fire and will also notify the Fire Brigade. Many companies also use what are known as sprinkler systems, which help to smother a fire in the earlier stages, and smoke extraction systems, which make it easier to evacuate. The installation of these devices should be included in the planning stage of the building construction.
Fire extinguisher
Fire extinguishers are essential equipment in any workplace and should be suitable for all types of substances that can be ignited. The most common fire extinguishers are type A, B and C - suitable for liquids, flammable gases and plastics. They should be inspected regularly, at least once a year.
