Fire protection is mandatory for every company, and the statutory body is responsible for it. Here is an overview of the obligations under Act No. 314/2001 Coll. and Decree No. 121/2002 Coll. – what you must have, how often, and what you risk during an inspection.
Every legal entity and self-employed person has obligations, and the statutory body is responsible for meeting them (Section 6 of Act No. 314/2001 Coll.). The company must carry out the tasks through a certified fire protection technician – in-house or external.
Only the smallest businesses are exempt: no more than 5 employees on the premises, activity only in a flat, a kiosk or a space of up to 100 m², and no activities with an increased fire risk. These only need to provide employee training (Section 7 of the Act).
| Obligation | How often | Regulation |
|---|---|---|
| Fire protection technician | permanently | Section 9 of Act No. 314/2001 Coll. |
| Preventive fire inspections | 3 / 6 / 12 months depending on the building | Section 14 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll. |
| Employee training | before starting work, then every 24 months | Sections 20 – 22 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll. |
| Professional training of fire patrols | every 12 months | Section 23 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll. |
| Review of fire protection documentation | after every change, at least every 12 months | Section 31 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll. |
| Presenting the fire log book to the statutory body | every 6 months | Section 29 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll. |
| Inspection of portable fire extinguishers | at least every 24 months under the decree; most reputable manufacturers specify 12 months | Section 9 of Decree No. 347/2022 Coll., manufacturer's instructions |
| Hydrant inspection | at least once every 12 months | Section 15 of Decree No. 699/2004 Coll. |
| Fire drill | every 12 months if the building does not have simple evacuation conditions | Section 5 of Act No. 314/2001 Coll. |
| Clear escape routes and a fire reporting point | permanently | Section 5 of Act No. 314/2001 Coll. |
Inspections: every 3 months in ordinary premises, 6 months for administrative premises, 12 months for occasionally used workplaces and residential buildings.
Every company needs a fire identification card, fire alarm guidelines, a fire log book and records of employee training (Section 24 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll.). Depending on the operation, you may also need:
The documentation is approved by the statutory body, kept in writing and reviewed after every change, and at least once every 12 months.
Slovak regulations distinguish activities, places and times with an increased fire risk. Typical activities are welding and working with flammable substances or open flames; typical places include stores of flammable liquids and gases. The company identifies and marks these places through its fire protection technician, and stricter measures apply to them, including workplace fire regulations.
The state fire inspectorate can impose a fine of up to €8,298, for example for missing inspections, training or documentation. More serious breaches, such as blocked escape routes or uninspected fire equipment, can lead to a fine of up to €16,596. For a repeat breach within three years, the fine can be up to double (Section 59 of Act No. 314/2001 Coll.).
Yes, every legal entity and self-employed person has obligations under Act No. 314/2001 Coll. The smallest businesses with no more than 5 employees on the premises that operate only in a flat, a kiosk or a space of up to 100 m² and have no activities with an increased fire risk only need to provide employee training (Section 7 of the Act).
Every 3 months in ordinary premises such as a shop, production facility, warehouse or car service, every 6 months in buildings used only for administrative work and every 12 months in residential buildings and buildings with occasionally used workplaces (Section 14 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll.).
Yes. Fire protection training applies to all employees, including people on agreements and temporary workers. New employees are trained before they start work, and the training is repeated every 24 months (Sections 20 to 22 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll.).
A fire protection technician or fire protection specialist with a valid certificate (Section 9 of Act No. 314/2001 Coll.). The result of the inspection is recorded in the fire log book.
If the building does not have simple evacuation conditions, i.e. if it has more than two above-ground floors, an underground floor with workplaces, or is used by people who do not know the building (Section 28 of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll.).
The regulation does not set a fixed number. The number and type of fire extinguishers are determined according to the technical standard STN 92 0202-1 (Section 89 of Decree No. 94/2004 Coll.), most often in the fire safety design of the building. We will help you determine it and supply the extinguishers.
State fire supervision is carried out by the regional or district directorate of the Fire and Rescue Service. The fine can be up to €8,298, up to €16,596 for more serious breaches and up to double for a repeat breach within three years (Section 59 of Act No. 314/2001 Coll.).
