Fire Safety Assistant Training according to ASR A2.2
International companies in Germany must comply with ASR A2.2 fire safety regulations. Standard German-language courses often leave non-German speaking staff unprepared. This professional, fully English-delivered course provides compliant, hands-on training directly at your facility.
Safety starts with well-trained employees
Fires strike without warning, threatening lives, physical infrastructure, and business continuity within minutes. In a corporate environment, rapid and correct employee response is the boundary between minor disruption and catastrophic loss.
German workplace regulation ASR A2.2, employers are legally mandated to train a sufficient percentage of their workforce as fire safety assistants (Brandschutzhelfer). These designated individuals perform vital functions in an emergency: leading building evacuations safely; initiating first-response firefighting measures; coordinating with local emergency services upon arrival.
Standard German-language courses often leave non-German speaking staff unprepared. Our entire curriculum—both classroom theory and practical exercises—is delivered exclusively in English.

Training content

Practical fire-fighting exercise
A critical phase of our program is the live-fire drill. Many employees hesitate to use an extinguisher during an incipent fire due to lack of familiarity. We break that barrier. Under expert guidance, your team will master:
- The safe mechanical handling of fire extinguishers
- Correct approach tactics for active, localized fires

The result: significantly more confidence and self-assurance in an emergency.
