Fire poses a great danger to all people, not to mention people from critical health groups such as the elderly, physically impaired, disabled and invalids. Wellness/spa facilities also deal extensively with totally immobile guests who are entirely dependent on the assistance of others. When preparing fire safety instructions, it is important to consider all possible obstacles for people staying in such a facility. The subject of this work is a list of passive and active measures to improve fire safety in a particular facility.
First of all, an inspection of the existing fire safety concept is necessary in order to find possibilities for improvement and to determine the level of knowledge of the employees regarding fire safety regulations and requirements.
Based on several studies conducted among employees, it was found that employees are highly aware of fire hazards and are able to follow fire safety procedures correctly. Random fire drills can significantly reduce response time. Employees are familiar with the siren alarm, evacuation route, emergency exits, assembly points and various fire fighting options, but most importantly, they are aware of their fire safety duties and responsibilities.
Due to the age of the building and therefore the lack of active fire protection installations, it is of the utmost importance that employees act responsibly and knowledgeably when it comes to extinguishing small fires or their beginnings and that they are familiar with the evacuation plan.
