Fire safety at work: duties and fire wardens

In German companies fire safety is law, not optional: employers must secure escape routes, training and first-response. Brandschutzhelfer = staff with extra course (1–2 days): checks routes, leads evacuation, teaches colleagues. Required per ~20–50 employees. Your part: know extinguisher, assembly point, warden. Check: blocked escape route = boss pays fine.

• ●Escape route = free path: boxes in hallways are danger, not decor
• ●Yearly training mandatory: 1 hour/year saves lives
• ●Warden = career plus: valued by employers
