CHAP 2.4.2 Training evacuation and/or containment officers
In order to bring people to safety, the employer appoints and trains, as required, a team of evacuation and/or containment officers, which may include:
- guide-files, whose job is to direct a group of people to the place of safety (assembly point or containment area),
- guide-guards, whose job is to close the march, prevent any backtracking and check that no-one remains in the area to be evacuated.
It is recommended that evacuation and/or containment officers be trained to perform both duties (guide and guide-holder).
CHAP 2.4.3 Fire-fighting training
Fire-fighting training for all personnel must be both theoretical and practical. This training may be provided by the company's own resources, or through a service provider. In all cases, the employer must ensure the competence of the trainer.
CHAP 3.3.2 Human resources for coordinated evacuation
To ensure the coordinated evacuation of people, the facility appoints and trains a team consisting of an evacuation and/or containment coordinator and evacuation officers.
Specific resources are dedicated to this mission: appropriate means of communication, high-visibility chasubles or armbands for personnel dedicated to evacuation or containment, personnel lists, megaphones (if the number of people to be evacuated is large).
CHAP 3.4.1 Human resources for coordinated response
All plant personnel have a specific role to play in the response function, by implementing the first actions detailed in chapter 2.
The human resources involved in coordinated intervention include:
- an intervention team leader;
- one or more intervention teams designated to:
- protect people,
- fight a fire effectively, in support of the witness(es) who sounded the alarm (or even started the fire extinguishing process
),
- prepare the fire department's intervention.
It should be noted that the profiles and technical skills of these intervention teams are consistent with the intervention strategies, particularly with regard to staffing levels, personal protective equipment and extinguishing resources.
CHAP 3.4.1.1 The intervention team leader
- directs and coordinates the various interventions as part of the intervention strategy (in accordance with the guidelines set out above);
- ensures implementation of applicable special and particular instructions, particularly with regard to the reception of emergency services, actions on
compartmentalization, smoke extraction, energy cut-off, etc.
CHAP 3.4.1.2 First-response teams (PPE)

Second intervention team members are selected taking into account the nature of the risks, the work sequences and the configuration of the premises.
They are grouped into teams and designated on the instructions and safety register.
CHAP 3.4.1.4 Technical intervention team members (EIT)
Technical intervention team members are responsible for shutting down and/or ensuring the safety of energy and fluids (electricity, gas,
heating, ventilation, hydraulic networks, machine shutdowns, etc.). They can also monitor the proper operation of fixed
fire protection systems (without exposure to the effects of fire). If necessary, EITs must have the necessary clearance and/or authorization
. They carry out their tasks under the responsibility of the intervention team leader. These people,
unless otherwise specified by the company, are not intended to carry out extinguishing operations.
CHAP 3.4.1.5 Technical intervention team members in the special case of sites equipped with automatic extinguishing systems
For sites equipped with automatic extinguishing systems (automatic water, gas or foam extinguishing systems), the requirements to guarantee their
operating efficiency must be implemented at the same time as the intervention missions are carried out.
For example, on sites equipped with a sprinkler system, a technical intervention team member
is appointed to go to the source area to check and monitor that the system is working properly.
CHAP 3.4.2.5 Refresher training for intervention team members
Refresher training concerns PPE, ESI, EIT and intervention team leaders. It consists in organizing practical training sessions in real-life situations
(with exercises on real-fuel fires for PPE and IMTs), at least once a year.
The pedagogical objective is to develop experience and reduce apprehension with regard to intervention.
For response team members skilled in dealing with leaks and spills of hazardous products, refresher training consists in
organizing practical training sessions in real-life situations at least once a year. This refresher training can be shared with fire-fighting refresher training
by varying the types of practical situations covered in the training program.
CHAP 3.4.3 Fire safety organization drills and tests
In addition to the training sessions, a fire safety organization drills and tests program is implemented.

Your questions
Which premises should be equipped with a water extinguisher?
Water extinguishers are preferred in the following environments:
Offices, shops, restaurants, homes, hotels, warehouses without particularly flammable materials.
Our water-spray extinguishers with plant additives can be used in a wider range of environments than conventional AFFFs: kitchens (class F), hospitals, food processing, schools, cold rooms (suitable for positive cold from 0°C to 5°C)...
For extreme environments, Eurofeu has developed an adapted range of devices: coastal areas, oil rigs, medical equipment, etc.
How much fire training is mandatory?
In France, regulations require employers to provide fire training to their employees on a regular basis. Although the regulations do not specify an exact frequency for this training, we generally recommend an update every one or two years. However, this frequency may vary depending on a number of factors, including :
Type of business: Businesses with higher fire risks, such as industrial sites or warehouses, may require more frequent training.
Size of facility: Large companies with a large number of employees may require more frequent training sessions to ensure that all employees are properly trained.
Specific risks: Companies where specific risks are present, such as those associated with flammable chemicals, may require more frequent and specialized training.
Changes in the company: Any significant change in the company, such as the introduction of new equipment, changes in work procedures or renovations to the premises, may require fire training to be updated.
Is epi training mandatory?
In France, PPE (Equipier de Première Intervention) training is not mandatory in all cases. However, in many work environments, particularly in companies and establishments where fire hazards are present, PPE training is strongly recommended every 12 months.
PPE training is designed to train employees to intervene effectively and safely in the event of fire or other emergency situations. It generally covers topics such as the use of fire extinguishers, evacuation techniques, handling fire-fighting equipment, first aid, etc.
The need for PPE training often depends on the specific risks present in the working environment, and the employer's legal obligations in terms of occupational health and safety. In many cases, employers are required by regulation to ensure that their employees receive adequate training to deal with fire and other workplace hazards.
Therefore, although PPE training is not always mandatory in all cases, it is strongly recommended to ensure employee safety and compliance with occupational health and safety regulations. Employers are advised to assess the risks present in their working environment and provide appropriate PPE training in line with these risks.
Which premises should be equipped with a water extinguisher?
Water extinguishers are preferred in the following environments:
Offices, shops, restaurants, homes, hotels, warehouses without particularly flammable materials.
Our water-spray extinguishers with plant additives can be used in a wider range of environments than conventional AFFFs: kitchens (class F), hospitals, food processing, schools, cold rooms (suitable for positive cold from 0°C to 5°C)...
For extreme environments, Eurofeu has developed an adapted range of devices: coastal areas, oil rigs, medical equipment, etc.
Who can be a fire trainer?
Wherever they come from, Eurofeu trainers are selected on the basis of their expertise, experience and ability to pass on fire safety knowledge effectively. They are also required to keep abreast of the latest regulations and standards in the fire safety field to ensure high-quality, up-to-date training.
What fire training is compulsory for all staff?
In France, regulations require that all company personnel, whatever their level of responsibility, receive basic fire safety training. This training, also known as fire awareness training or basic fire training, is mandatory and aims to make employees aware of fire risks and teach them basic prevention and intervention measures.
Basic fire safety training generally includes the following elements:
Fire risk awareness: Employees are made aware of the different types of fire risk they could face in their working environment.
Use of extinguishers: Employees learn to recognize the different types of extinguishers and how to use them correctly in the event of a fire.
Evacuation procedures: Employees are trained in fire evacuation procedures, including evacuation routes, assembly points and roles assigned during an evacuation.
Behavior in the event of fire: Employees learn how to behave in the event of fire, such as alerting emergency services, warning colleagues and following safety instructions.
