Last Updated March 8, 2019

Fire prevention management system for the entire building

Effective April 1, 2014


Explanatory diagram

In buildings of a certain size where the title is divided for management, such as when multiple business establishments move in, the management right holders have been jointly discussing necessary matters for fire prevention management for the entire building, In the matters to be discussed, a general fire prevention manager to manage fire prevention for the entire building was to be appointed.

However, the conventional regulations did not clarify the role and authority of the general fire prevention manager, and there were situations in which guidance to each business site was not necessarily properly provided.

Clarification of roles in fire prevention management can be given to the fire managers of each business site, and the division of roles in fire prevention management of the entire building has been clarified.
