FP – Fire Protection
Fires last only a short time, but they can cause damage worth millions of euros. Fire risk is a reality that should not be underestimated in any organization. Minimize the risk of fire by thorough preparation and by securing fire protection from our fire protection technicians. Even outside an actual fire situation, it is advisable to have your FP obligations secured preventively, which can protect you from a possible fine from the State Fire Supervision Authority, i.e. an inspection of fire protection measures carried out by the District Directorate of the Fire and Rescue Corps.
What does FP mean?
FP, or in other words fire protection (alternatively, the abbreviation FP - fire protection is also used), represents necessary measures to minimize the risk of fire at every workplace. These measures are focused on prevention and rapid response in the event that a fire does occur. Services in the field of fire protection are designed to reduce the likelihood of a fire occurring and at the same time to provide effective protection in the event of a crisis situation connected with fire. Thanks to these measures, a safe working environment is ensured and potential damage is minimized.

Do not let a fire or a fine destroy your company - Preventive fire inspections
A regular fire inspection can identify risk areas and factors in the company’s working environment. An important goal is to prevent potential fires and ensure that the working environment meets the highest safety standards.
The frequency of preventive fire inspections varies depending on the type of premises:
Every 3 months in standard premises such as shops, services and healthcare facilities.
Every 6 months in administrative premises.
Every 12 months in residential buildings and in buildings and premises where there are only occasional workplaces, where an employee is not regularly assigned and where they stay only occasionally at intervals of several days, usually only for the purpose of inspection, maintenance or repair
During preventive fire inspections, the following are also often carried out, among other things:
Inspection of fire extinguishers
Inspection of hydrants (hose systems) and other equipment for supplying water for extinguishing fires
Inspection of fire closures - in this case, their functionality, good condition, marking and good accessibility are checked.
If any deficiencies or problems are found during the inspection of these elements, it is important to solve these problems quickly and effectively. Above all, it is important that these devices are functional and in good condition whenever you need them.
Preventive fire inspections will be carried out for you by our professionally qualified person - a fire protection technician or fire protection specialist.
