Training for fire protection and evacuation assistants 2022
If there has been a fire in a company, the consequences are often: loss of production, loss of orders or loss of customers. The German Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG §5) as well as the German Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR A2.2) stipulate that at least 5 % of the workforce must be trained as fire protection and evacuation assistants. Fire protection and evacuation assistants are prepared to extinguish an incipient fire in an emergency, to alert the fire brigade as well as to warn persons present and to support evacuation. Refresher training for fire safety assistants should take place every 3 to 5 years. In times of pandemics, when contacts should be reduced as much as possible, this is not so easy, but there is a solution.
Live online training - the hybrid training option
For about a year now, we have been successfully offering the training for fire protection and evacuation assistants as hybrid online training, i.e. the theory part takes place in a live online training and the practical part, i.e. the fire extinguishing exercise, outside in the open.
To take part, registered participants receive an access link by e-mail, which they can use to participate - without having to download a programme or register anywhere. The fire safety trainer holds the online training live, i.e. he can respond directly to questions from the participants. The practical fire extinguishing exercise takes place afterwards by arrangement. CWS Fire Safety offers the practical part at various branches in Germany. After successful participation, the participants receive a corresponding certificate.

Contents of fire protection and evacuation assistant training
Fire protection assistants and evacuation assistants support the rescue of people in case of fire, fight incipient fires and instruct the fire brigade. Fire protection assistants must be professionally instructed and regularly trained. During the training, we address the following questions, among others:

- How does a fire start and what are the different stages?
- How do you fight a fire? What do you have to watch out for?
- When should the fire brigade be called in?
- How should fire protection be organised in a company?
- What exactly are the tasks of a fire protection assistant?
- Practical part: What fire extinguishers are there, how are they used and what should be taken into account when extinguishing?
