Fire Safety in Buildings
What is Fire Safety in Buildings?
It is the set of measures, equipment, systems, and procedures designed to reduce the risk of fire.
What are Self-Protection Measures?
Are organizational and technical procedures that ensure safety conditions are maintained. They include prevention plans, emergency plans, safety records, and drills.
Who can develop self-protection measures?
Only accredited technicians with experience in Fire Safety in Buildings, such as the team at Alves & Rasteiro, which has already prepared more than 2500 Self-Protection Measures approved by ANEPC.
What is the difference between a Fire Safety in Buildings Project and Self-Protection Measures?
The Fire Safety in Buildings Project specifies the systems and equipment to be installed (construction phase). The Self-Protection Measures regulate their use and maintenance (operational phase).
What happens if an entity does not have approved Self-Protection Measures?
The failure to implement Self-protection Measures constitutes a serious administrative offense. In addition to fines, it may result in the suspension of operations and criminal liability in the event of an accident.
