Your fire protection specialists

Employers are obliged to provide security and health protection of employees relating to all aspects concerning their work. Every company has to take precautions to prevent a fire. Outsourcing of this function to experienced HEL-WACHT fire protection specialists has many advantages: an external fire protection specialist does not perform any other activities in your company, has no conflict of interests and is there for you with this task only. Experience gathered over many years, expertise and routine are made available to you and the risk of staff shortages is prevented by a pool of fire protection specialists. The emergency call centre operated by HEL-WACHT guarantees availability 24 hours. In connection with the activities of a fire protection specialist, HEL-WACHT also takes over part of the liability.

With drawing up fire regulations, risks can be minimised and the danger of costly incidents and resulting down times and operational interruptions can be clearly reduced. The legal basis is art. 43 of the Workplaces Ordinance (Arbeitsstättenverordnung - AStV). In addition, the Technical Guidelines for Preventive Fire Protection (technische Richtlinien für den vorbeugenden Brandschutz - TRVB) are in force. As fire protection specialists, only persons may be appointed who have undergone training pursuant to TRVB O 117. The activities of the fire protection specialist shall lead to early detection of hazards and defects and are an essential part of preventive fire protection.

By the way: external fire protection is often requested together with a connection of the fire alarm system to the alarm call centre of HEL-WACHT.
