What does the law say?
Each company is legally required to have an in-house firefighting service. It consists of several employees who act efficiently in the event of a fire (hazard). The size of your organisation is irrelevant to this requirement.
A risk analysis determines how many employees the firefighting service must contain. This depends on your company size, type of business operations and the fire risk.
As an employer, you are legally obligated to provide members of the firefighting service with the necessary training. Raising awareness is important to inform all other employees of fire hazards, what to do in the event of a fire and how to evacuate.

Is het verplicht een brandbestrijdingsdienst op te richten?
Ja, elke werkgever is verplicht om een eigen brandbestrijdingsdienst te hebben.
Zo’n dienst bestaat uit een aantal medewerkers die efficiënt kunnen optreden bij brandgevaar. Hoeveel werknemers je hebt, speelt geen rol. Er moet altijd één persoon van de dienst aanwezig zijn.
Een risicoanalyse bepaalt uit hoeveel medewerkers zo’n brandbestrijdingsdienst bestaat: afhankelijk van de grootte van je bedrijf, het soort activiteiten en het brandrisico.
Wie moet een brandopleiding volgen in mijn organisatie?
Binnen elke organisatie moeten een aantal medewerkers efficiënt kunnen optreden bij brandgevaar, de brandpreventiedienst. De leden volgen een gerichte opleiding, met een theoretisch en een praktijk luik. Ze leren er meewerken aan een risicoanalyse, ingrijpen bij beginnende brand en een evacuatie correct en snel uit te voeren.
Alle overige werknemers moeten op de hoogte gebracht worden van mogelijke brandrisico’s, het alarmsignaal, wat te doen bij brand en hoe te evacueren.
As an employer, are you allowed to organise fire safety training yourself?
Yes, as an employer, you are allowed to organise fire safety training yourself. Please note, however, that you are then personally responsible for ensuring that the training is sufficiently in-depth and practical, and that the necessary refresher training is provided.
Prefer to be on the safe side? Mensura can take care of the training and all the associated organisation for you. This way, you can be sure of high-quality training delivered by experienced experts, with a course that is always up to date with the latest legislation.
