Fire protection and safety studies
We prepare the studies required by the Fire Service, labour legislation and main contractors: fire protection studies, escape and evacuation plans, SAY-FAY for construction projects and H&S Plans for subcontractors. Every study is based on a survey of the actual premises or site and is delivered ready to submit or post.
Studies we prepare
Fire protection study
- Classification of the building use and the requirements that apply to your premises
- Active and passive fire protection measures
- Floor plans with firefighting, detection and alarm equipment
- File for the Fire Safety Certificate
Escape and evacuation plans
- Survey of the premises or work on the existing floor plan
- Escape routes, emergency exits and assembly point
- Locations of extinguishers, first-aid kits, electrical panels and switches
- A "You are here" plan for each posting point
- Evacuation procedure and appointment of responsible persons
- Staff training and an evacuation drill with a report
Health and Safety Plan and File (SAY-FAY)
- Health and Safety Plan (SAY) for every phase of the project
- Health and Safety File (FAY) for future maintenance work
- Work schedule and risk assessment per phase
- Updates to the SAY-FAY as the project progresses
Subcontractor H&S Plans
- Health & Safety Plan for the subcontractor's scope of work
- Method statements and risk assessments (RAMS)
- Equipment, certificates and staff qualifications
- Written in English or Greek, in the main contractor's template
Questions we are asked
Is an escape plan mandatory?
The employer must take the measures needed for first aid, fire safety and evacuation, according to the size and nature of the business (Article 535 of P.D. 62/2025). In addition, fire safety rules require posted plans and an organised evacuation for many building uses. We check what applies to your premises during the site survey.
When is a fire protection study needed?
It depends on the use, floor area and occupancy of the premises. For many businesses the study is a prerequisite for the Fire Safety Certificate or the operating licence. We check what applies to your premises during the site survey.
When is a SAY-FAY needed?
The Health and Safety Plan (SAY) and Health and Safety File (FAY) are required for construction projects under P.D. 305/1996 and usually accompany the building permit application. The SAY is updated as construction progresses and the FAY is handed to the project owner at the end.
What is a subcontractor H&S Plan?
It is the document in which a subcontractor shows the main contractor how it will carry out its scope of work safely: hazards, work methods, equipment, staff and emergency procedures. Large contractors usually ask for it before site access.
How often should an evacuation drill take place?
We recommend at least one drill a year, and after changes to the premises or staff, unless the building use requires something stricter.
