Fire safety regulations to DIN 14096

Fire safety regulations define who does what when a fire breaks out. We draw them up after an on-site inspection, tailored to your building and your responsibilities.

The rules everyone follows in an emergency

The fire safety regulations set out how fires are prevented, how they are reported and the alarm raised, how the building is evacuated and who takes on which task. Without these rules everyone decides for themselves in an emergency. That costs time nobody has.

They are required in several places: by the risk assessment under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, by the technical rule ASR A2.2, often by the fire safety certificate in the building permit and regularly by the property insurer. For special buildings such as assembly venues, retail premises, schools or care homes they are mandatory anyway.

Fire safety regulations part A notice with fire prevention and fire response sections

Without clear rules, everyone decides for themselves in an emergency.

Parts A, B and C: three audiences, three documents

DIN 14096 divides the fire safety regulations into three parts. Each addresses a different group and has its own format.

Part A: The notice

For everyone in the building, including visitors and contractors

One A4 page, posted where everyone can see it. Content: preventing fires, what to do in a fire, emergency call. Nothing more, because the notice has to be understood in seconds.
Part B: For your employees

For everyone regularly in the building without special fire safety duties

Part B goes much further: escape and rescue routes, alarm and extinguishing equipment, what to do when the alarm sounds, assembly points. It is handed out and discussed during safety briefings.
Part C: For special duties

For fire safety officers, fire safety and evacuation assistants, facility staff

Part C describes the duties of everyone with a defined role in an emergency. Specifically for the time before, during and after a fire.

Why templates rarely work

Ready-made fire safety regulations are easy to download. The problem: they are supposed to describe your building, meaning your escape routes, your assembly points, your alarm equipment and your responsibilities. If they name an assembly point you do not have, the document is useless in an emergency and a problem after a loss.

That is why we start with an on-site inspection. We look at the building, compare it with your risk assessment (and, where available, the fire safety certificate and escape plans) and agree responsibilities with you.

Keep them current instead of filing them away

Fire safety regulations go out of date quietly. A conversion, a new use, a moved assembly point or a change of responsible staff, and the details are no longer correct. DIN 14096 therefore requires a regular review at least every two years. We take care of that review and get in touch before it is due.

On request we also supply the escape and rescue plans and training for your fire safety assistants. Then everything fits together.
