Saarland University Fire Safety Regulations Part B Scope These Fire Safety Regulations apply in all buildings, installations, and other facilities used by the Saarland University. They are binding for all individuals residing within the grounds mentioned above, for the purpose of professional practice, studying, education and training, or for any other reasons. They do not apply to Building C4 2 (Saarbrücken Campus), for which there are separate Fire Safety Regulations. For individuals who are only residing at the university temporarily, such as employees of outside companies or guests, Fire Safety Regulations Part A (placard) shall apply as a minimum requirement. In addition to this, they must be informed in each situation of the extent required and must comply with the instructions given by technical operating personnel, or by the fire brigade. All employees, students, and other individuals who are not only staying at the university temporarily (e.g. visiting scholars, visiting professors, fellows, exchange students, etc.) are required to observe the rules of these Fire Safety Regulations to act accordingly and therefore, to participate effectively in preventing both fires and other incidents. Entry into Force These Fire Safety Regulations of the Saarland University came into force on 1 October 2010. As a result of this, all previous Fire Safety Regulations of the Saarland University are no longer effective. Saarbrücken, September 2010 University President Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz 4

• Working with Hazardous Materials ("Hot Work")
- Any work with hazardous materials outside of workshops (e.g. separation, welding, cutting, or
soldering) may only be carried out with written approval from the Facility Management team.
This "hot work permit" must be obtained prior to starting work. The conditions are mandatory.
- When working in buildings A2 2, B4 1, C4 2, C4 4, D4 1, E2 1, E2 3, E2 4, E2 5 or E2 6
(Saarbrücken Campus), the Fire Prevention Officer must also be informed.
- Hot work may be only be carried out by trained members of staff.
- After finishing work, inspections are carried out on any fire hazards. A final inspection is
carried out following a sufficient period of time after the completion of hot work, and this must
be noted on the hot work permit and confirmed with a signature.
- For employees of outside companies, the requirements of the "Guidelines for carrying out
work when deploying contractors at the University of Saarland campus" shall also apply.
• Flammable / Explosive Substances
- In laboratories, workshops and other work rooms, flammable, oxidising and explosive
substances must be kept inside appropriate containers, must only be used with quantity
required for the progress of the task and must not exceed the daily requirements.
- Flammable liquids when used manually may be kept at the workplace inside containers which
do not exceed a nominal volume of 1 litre. Should larger quantities of flammable liquids be
required on a regular basis, then these must be stored in appropriate safety cabinets.
- Fire, naked flames, and smoking are prohibited when handling these materials.
- With fire or explosively dangerous chemical experiments, a permanent expert surveillance
program must be in place. Experiments which cannot be interrupted at the end of routine
working hours must be conducted in secure areas (“night laboratories"), in which an automatic
device for early detection or damage reduction is available. The experimental apparatus must
also include an information sheet for any on-going reaction, and those responsible must also
be included.
- After finishing work, you must ensure that all heating or cooking appliances and other
equipment have been switched off and that there is zero risk of fire. Fuel gas pipelines must
be shut off.
- Any continuous operation equipment must be of the type that it poses zero risk of fire during
any period whilst unattended.

c) Spread of Fire and Smoke
• Smoke and Fire Doors
- Smoke and fire doors are to be used in the case of fire, in order to prevent smoke and fire from
spreading, and to keep the escape and rescue routes free from smoke.
- Fire and smoke control doors must be kept closed unless they can be secured by certain
authorised technical equipment, where they can be automatically closed in situations where
either fire or smoke has been detected.
- They must not be closed in the presence of individuals.
- No objects must be placed within the panoramic and operational range of automatic fire and
smoke protection doors, gateways, or curtains. During operating hours, the approved
mechanisms must either be set to open by the fire alarm control panel, or closed manually via
the buttons in the case of fire.
- Any wedging, setting, or adjusting, as well as dismantling the closing mechanisms linked to the
fire and smoke protection doors is prohibited.

verkeilen, verstellen, festbinden o. ä. Brandschutztür
verboten! stets geschlossen halten
• Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems
- For the smoke extraction of escape stairs, individual buildings are equipped with smoke and
heat exhaust ventilation systems (NSHEV). In the case of fire, they will open automatically or
can be manually opened by using the buttons.
- Operating devices linked to smoke flues and smoke heat vents must not be obstructed by any
objects.
Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz 9Saarland University Fire Safety Regulations Part B
d) Escape and Evacuation Routes
• Keeping Escape and Rescue Routes Clear
- Access routes and storage surfaces used for fire and rescue vehicles, and fire hydrant points
must be kept clear under all circumstances.
- Escape and evacuation routes as well as emergency exits must not be obstructed and must
always be kept clear. They must be able to be opened easily from the inside and provide a
source of evacuation at all times.
- Within the vicinity of escape and evacuation routes, no flammable materials (such as
upholstered furniture, packaging material, cartons, etc.) may be present.
• Identification Signs
- The path of the escape and evacuation routes, along with the emergency exits must be
marked clearly. Should any identification signs be missing, please contact the Amt für Arbeits-
und Umweltschutz.
- Safety signs, escape and evacuation plans, along with all fire extinguishing and alarm
equipment must also not be covered or blocked.
e) Detector and Extinguishing Equipment
• Telephones for Reporting Fires
- Phones for reporting fires are available inside all of the buildings. The fire brigade can be
contacted on the following numbers:
- Saarbrücken Campus: 112
- Homburg Campus: 112
• Permanently Manned Location (Saarbrücken Campus)
- The control centre can be contacted by dialling 2242
This is where incoming internal calls are handled and all other necessary measures to
prevent damage are also processed from here.
Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz 10Saarland University Fire Safety Regulations Part B
• Fire Alarm Systems
- In some buildings, manually operated push button switches are also present (“fire alarm"),
which can be used to manually alert the fire brigade.
- Individual buildings are equipped with fire alarm systems (FAS). Should a fire be detected by
a smoke detector, the FAS triggers an alarm which automatically informs the fire brigade. In
addition to this, there are also buildings which include hand-operated push button switches
(see above).
• Wall Hydrants
- In some buildings, fire hydrants have been installed. They are used for self-help in the case
of fire.
There are two types of fire hydrants available, which vary significantly depending on the type
of hose in use.
Wall hydrant with flat hose: Hose reel with semi-rigid hose:
The tube is made from fabric and is rolled up flat. It This normally consists of a hose made from black

Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz 11Saarland University Fire Safety Regulations Part B
• Fire Extinguishers
- All buildings are equipped with fire extinguishers and their locations are specified
(see left). Fire extinguishers are normally located within the vicinity of the hallways and
staircase areas. In dangerous areas (laboratories, workshops, etc.), additional fire extinguishers
are also available.
- Please familiarise yourself with the locations of fire extinguishers in good time.
• Additional Means and Equipment for Fighting Fires
- This icon highlights the various extinguishers (e.g., fire sand bucket, fire blanket, etc.). The
symbol can be supplemented with a text field below the icon, which provides information about
the extinguishing system which is positioned there.
• Automatic Extinguishing Systems
- Some buildings are equipped with sprinkler systems. Upon reaching a predetermined
temperature, the sprinkler head will burst open with liquid from the filled glass tube, and this
opens the sprinkler head valve. If extinguishing water flows from a sprinkler, the fire alarm
system will automatically alert the fire brigade.
• Emergency Showers
- In laboratories - an emergency shower has been installed, which is normally located close to
the exit. These are not only used for cleaning areas which have been in contact with
hazardous material, but can also be used to get rid of objects which have fallen onto people
during the fire.
f) Conduct in the Case of Fire
- Keep calm! In order to avoid causing panic, leave the danger zone in both a calm and
collected manner.
- Alert the fire brigade!
- Notify the occupants within the building. Bring yourself and others to safety!
- Rescuing individuals is more important than rescuing property, goods, and extinguishing the
fire!
- Do not attempt to extinguish the fire!
Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz 12Saarland University Fire Safety Regulations Part B
g) Reporting a Fire
- In the case of fire, or even if you should detect a smell of fire, the fire brigade must be alerted
immediately:
- by pressing a push button (“fire alert”), or
- by telephone:
Saarbrücken Campus: 112
- Homburg Campus: 112
- When the alert is given via telephone, the following information must be provided:
1. WHO is giving the report?
2. WHAT happened?
3. HOW MANY have been affected / injured?
4. WHERE did something happen?
5. WAIT for further questions!
h) Observing Alarm Signals and Instructions
- Should a fire alarm or audible alarm trigger an announcement via the megaphone to rooms
within the building, all individuals must leave the building immediately and, proceed to the
assembly point within the vicinity (see Appendix 1).
- The instructions given by the management team must be obeyed. After the fire brigade have
arrived on scene, only their instructions must then be followed.
i) Returning to Safety
- All individuals within the building must leave the building immediately and head towards the
designated evacuation routes when hearing an alarm signal (see above). Follow the
evacuation process calmly, and in a collected manner. Walk briskly but not hectically. Make
sure that nobody has been left inside an area of danger. Particular attention must be paid to
disabled people.
- You must head towards the area for each site-specific assembly points (see Appendix 1) and
you must not leave these areas until you have been given an instruction to do so. An
attendance register will be taken by the onsite supervisor(s). Should someone be missing, the
fire brigade must be informed immediately.
Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz 13Saarland University Fire Safety Regulations Part B
- In the case of fire, none of the elevators may be used. Risk of choking!
Aufzug im Brandfall
nicht benutzen
- Please familiarise yourself with the locations of the escape and evacuation routes. Familiarise
yourself with the paths which you can see on the affixed diagrams, or which are visible on the
icons by the escape routes.
- Vacate any smoky areas by crawling or bending downwards.
- Should the escape route be blocked by either fire or smoke, follow the alternate escape route.
(See escape and evacuation plan).
- Should it no longer be possible to vacate either the building or premises, you may either
remain there or head towards an area of safety. Close the doors and make sure that others
can notice you by the window. Plug any door cracks by using wet towels, or small pieces of
clothing. Wait to be rescued by the fire brigade.
- Should any disabled employees be employed, who are unable to vacate the building without
assistance in the case of fire, supervisors must then impose effective measures in advance to
ensure that they can be rescued safely either by other employees or by the emergency
services. This must be carried out in collaboration with individuals who have specialist
disabled knowledge, the Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz, and perhaps also the Fire
Prevention Officer.
j) Attempting to Extinguish a Fire
- After all individuals have been safely evacuated from the danger zone, and there is no longer
a risk to any individual, extinguishing measures must then be taken. For this reason fire
extinguishers and, if required, fire hydrants are also available.
- Emergency showers can be used when extinguishing individuals who are on fire, along with
fire extinguishers, or fire hydrants should they be available.
- Fire blankets are not suitable for people on fire! The pressing of the blanked on a person in
fire may cause further injuries of the skin.
Amt für Arbeits- und Umweltschutz 14Saarland University Fire Safety Regulations Part B
k) Special Rules of Conduct
- Close windows and doors in order to prevent any fire smoke from spreading out freely. Do not
lock the doors!
- All machinery and equipment must be switched off or turned off (if possible: switch off the
emergency stop button).
- If possible, close the gas supply (emergency stop button).
- Switch off any unlocking and ventilation equipment and air conditioning systems!
- Upon arrival of the fire brigade, any operational devices must be reinstated. Their instructions
must be obeyed.
- Rescue procedures implemented by the fire brigade and other emergency services must be
supported either by instructions or remedial action. All access roads and entrances to the fire
location must be kept clear for the fire brigade or other emergency services.
- Endurance tests and processes may only be interrupted if this is possible without any further
risk. The instructions as to whether and how endurance testing should be either disconnected
or switched off in the event of a fire / emergency, must be established by responsible parties
prior to testing and communicated to the individuals in question.
- In the case of a fire, responsible management staff must be informed. These are the point of
contact for providing a link with the fire brigade.
- For fires in laboratories which have involved work with radioactive substances, the competent
radiation protection representative (RPR) must be informed. He/she is the point of contact for
providing a link with the fire brigade.
- Any material goods may only be recovered if human life is not under threat, and if any rescue
and fire-fighting measures are not being obstructed.
