Fire protection

A shisha bar needs an efficient, technical ventilation system. Efficient means that in the guest area at least 130 cubic metres of air per hour and per burning hookah must be removed and replaced by fresh air. This was identified by the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the foodstuffs and catering industry (BGN) in practice tests. Ventilation through open windows and doors is usually not sufficient.

Companies that make use of the counselling service "AUVAsicher" receive various materials that can be used to implement employee protection in their businesses.

Accidents can happen. In order to work safely and healthily, employees have to know how to behave in the event of an emergency. Emergency preparedness supports the efficient design of first aid and fire protection in the workplace.

The pyrotechnic sector – including manufacturing, storage and selling of fireworks – is particularly risky and affected by frequent accidents and injuries (usually fatal). Inail, in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defense, has drawn up the following booklet, whose aim is helping pyrotechnical enterprises – mostly small-sized and artisan ones – to manage occupational safety and health (OSH).
