In every office, there are potential hazards that can affect the safety of employees. One of these hazards is the risk of fires, whether caused by electrical equipment or other causes. Fire safety assistants in the office are therefore also essential in order to be able to act quickly and effectively in the event of a fire.
Requirements for fire safety assistants in the office
In accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, ASR A2.2 and DGUV Information 205-023, every employer is obliged to appoint employees who can take on first aid, firefighting and evacuation tasks.
The number of fire safety assistants depends on the number of employees and the fire risk. As a guideline, at least 5 percent of the workforce should be trained as fire safety assistants.
Although the risk of fire in the office is considered low compared to other working environments, there is still a risk, particularly from electrical equipment. Batteries, coffee machines, printers and other electronic devices can cause fires under certain circumstances, whether through overheating, short circuits or other malfunctions.
Appropriate training as an office fire safety assistant is essential in order to be prepared for such situations. These employees are prepared to react quickly and effectively in an emergency to protect lives and minimize damage.
