Legal basis for the training
Ordinance No. 8121з-647 of 1 October 2014
Ordinance No. 8121з-647 establishes the fire safety rules and standards applicable during the operation of sites in Bulgaria.
The Ordinance covers the organisation of fire safety, internal rules, emergency and evacuation arrangements, preparation of personnel and the designation of officials responsible for organising and monitoring compliance with fire safety requirements.
Ordinance No. RD-07-2 of 16 December 2009
Ordinance No. RD-07-2 regulates occupational health and safety training and instruction. Fire prevention, actions in the event of fire and safe evacuation form part of the occupational health and safety knowledge required at the workplace.
Where the designated Fire Safety Officer also performs another role covered by Ordinance No. RD-07-2, the training frequency applicable to that additional role is determined by the relevant provision of the Ordinance.
Important: Article 6(1)(4) of Ordinance No. RD-07-2 does not specifically regulate Fire Safety Officers. It concerns members of Working Conditions Committees and Groups. This course is primarily based on the fire safety requirements applicable to the operation of sites.
