Legal obligation on office buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, garages, etc.
To ensure the safety of your people and material possessions.
Reassurance that the building is compliant with fire safety requirements.
Knowing that my people are prepared and have the skills to act in case of a fire.
Fire safety is vital. Ignoring even the smallest of requirements might have devastating consequences.
A fire safety inspection assesses the compliance of a building and the surrounding territory with fire safety requirements.
The new amended Fire Safety Act that took effect in 2021 established a new obligation to thousands of offices, industrial buildings, warehouses, and garages – instead of submitting a fire safety self-check report as before, a specialist must be called to the location, who will be responsible for a thorough fire safety inspection of the building.
Forus employs the largest team of specialists who work every day for the safety of your people and the protection of your property. Make sure to arrange an inspection with time to spare because all fire safety specialists could be busy with inspections during the last few months of the year.
The fire safety inspection procedures, the peculiarities of the fire safety inspection, the content of the fire safety inspection act and the procedure for exchanging information are established by Regulation No. 7 of the Minister of the Interior of 2021. The fire safety inspection act is presented in the rescue information system.
The first obligatory fire safety inspection must be completed:
The Estonian Rescue Board notifies of the obligation to conduct a fire safety inspection.
The possessor of the building organises a fire safety inspection. If several possessors use the same building, the owner of the building organises a fire safety inspection.
Inspections are conducted by specialists who hold an occupational qualification certification for fire safety specialist, level 5, or fire protection expert, level 6, in accordance with the occupational qualification standards. You can find specialists with professional qualifications from Forus.
Yes, our fire safety specialists are available for inspections all across Estonia.
The exact price depends on the size of the premises and the scope of the work. Send a query to Forus so we could prepare an individual quote.
Please prepare various documents, such as the design documentation of the building, agreements for the construction and maintenance of various fire safety installations as well as the plan of action for the event of a fire. A fire safety specialist will provide you with a precise list of documents that they need before arriving on site.
It is essential that the possessor of the building allows the specialist conducting the inspection to enter the building and premises in their possession and submit all relevant data and documents.
The owners and possessors of office buildings who fail to complete a fire safety inspection in their building on time receive a precept with a specified term from the Estonian Rescue Board. Please do not leave the inspection to the last minute because there are very few fire safety specialists in Estonia and they might all be busy with inspections at the end of the year.
A specialist of Forus prepares a fire safety inspection report for the building after each inspection. Whenever deficiencies are discovered, we offer practical advice for rectification and arrange a time for a new meeting with the possessor of the building. If the identified deficiencies can be eliminated quickly, then the person conducting the fire safety inspection agrees on the deadline for the elimination of initial deficiencies with the owner/possessor/authorised representative of the building.
If the deficiencies are eliminated within 30 days, then a statement on the good condition of the building is prepared.
For more information about the elimination of deficiencies, please visit the website of the Estonian Rescue Board.
If no deficiencies are discovered during a fire safety inspection, the owner or possessor of the building arranges another fire safety inspection in six years at the latest. If the building has deficiencies, the next inspection must be conducted in three years.
