Brandschutz und Evakuierung in Wohn- und Pflegeeinrichtungen

People with care and support needs are particularly at risk in the event of a fire. Therefore, fire protection solutions specifically tailored to these individuals and effective evacuation concepts are all the more important. The title outlines the various requirements depending on the type of residence or care facility and explains the dependencies of building structure, floor plan design, and fire protection measures. It assists in correctly and sensibly combining the defensive, technical, and organizational fire protection in care and support facilities from the early stages of planning. This can help avoid later redesigns or additional costs due to complex technical solutions arising from the neglect of fire protection or accessibility planning principles. The book provides practical examples, a sample evacuation plan, and tools for on-site organizational fire protection. It supports not only the creation of safe fire protection and accessibility concepts within the framework of approval planning but also the subsequent training of operators and staff. Contents include: Building for an aging and inclusive society, legal frameworks and delineation, structural design, systems and safety technology, facilities for the fire department, organizational fire protection and operator responsibility, evacuation and emergency plans, detailed fire protection measures, practical examples, and an appendix including tools and checklists.
