Facility subject to fire safety requirements: Site / unit​, Site address​. Categories of persons receiving instruction: Categories of persons receiving instruction​. Program developed by: Developer's position and full name​, training details: Developer's qualifications​. Instructors: Instructors and their training​. Duration and time allocation: Duration and topic plan​; time is determined by the content and facility characteristics, and this template establishes no fixed minimum. The program is developed under Appendix 2 to Order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia (МЧС России) of 16.12.2024 No. 1120 and approved by the head under the procedure in Appendix 3.

The site has no residential premises; general measures for residential buildings are covered under the relevant topic. Assistance procedure for people with reduced mobility and others unable to evacuate independently: Evacuation assistance​.

The instructor explains the purpose of current internal instructions, who organizes fire safety and to whom violations should be reported. Employees must observe established rules, follow instructions, know the exit route and how to summon help; liability is imposed under the law, taking account of the circumstances of the violation. Ignition sources and fire load at the site are reviewed: faulty electrical equipment, overloaded circuits, open flames, smoking outside permitted areas, and breaches of storage and hot-work procedures. Information about real incidents is used to analyze causes and preventive measures, without invented statistics. Obstructing exits or passages, blocking access to extinguishers, securing fire doors in a way that impairs their operation, and disabling protection systems without authorization are prohibited. Evacuation routes are kept clear; defects in doors, signs and lighting are reported immediately to the responsible person. Electrical appliances are used according to the manufacturer's instructions; damaged cables and sockets are not used. Improvised heaters and unauthorized connections are prohibited. At the end of work, equipment requiring shutdown is switched off; fire protection systems and continuously operating equipment are not disconnected without authorization. Combustible materials are stored in designated places, taking compatibility and labeling into account; waste is removed by the prescribed method. Hot work and other fire-hazardous operations are performed only after the required preparation and authorization. Site instructions are used to explain specific prohibitions and responsibilities.

On detecting smoke, flames, a burning smell or other signs of combustion, immediately call 101 or 112: give the address, location and signs of fire, whether people are present, and your own details; answer the dispatcher's questions. Activate the prescribed alarm and inform the responsible person. A manager's absence is no reason to delay calling the fire service. Begin evacuation along a safe route to the assembly point. Do not use ordinary elevators, return for belongings or open doors into a dangerous area without assessing conditions. If the exit is cut off, tell emergency services your location and follow a safe option provided in the site instructions; do not attempt to pass through dense smoke. Only authorized persons may stop process equipment or shut down ventilation and electricity, and only if safe. Property may be evacuated only without endangering people or delaying their escape. Saving people and summoning professional help take priority. First-response firefighting equipment may be used only with safe access, the required skills and an escape route. Equipment is selected by fire class and labeling; unsuitable agents must not be used on energized electrical installations. Stop firefighting and withdraw if danger increases. The instructor shows equipment locations, limitations and operating procedures. At the assembly point, report those who have evacuated and those missing; return is permitted only after authorization by competent persons. Meeting firefighters includes providing information about people, hazardous substances and shutdown device locations without independently entering the dangerous area.

Explain the need to keep exits clear and the prohibitions on dangerous heater use, smoking outside permitted areas and obstructing corridors. Occupants are familiarized with the evacuation plan and how to summon help. Nighttime arrangements and assistance for those who find independent evacuation difficult are covered according to the building's actual use.

Theory is delivered in person using visual materials: In-person training materials​. The practical component includes demonstrating the route from the work area to a safe exit, locating the alarm button and firefighting equipment, making a practice call to a dispatcher and choosing a safe action in a proposed scenario. Firefighting equipment is practiced using a safe training method that creates no fire and does not leave the site unprotected. Site-specific practical exercises, equipment and training location: Site-specific practical exercises​. Assessment: the trainee correctly states the address and emergency numbers, shows an accessible exit, explains the alert/evacuation sequence, firefighting limitations and action when a route is blocked. Additional site skills assessed: Additional skills to assess​. Persons with unsatisfactory results are not allowed to work; further training and assessment are arranged before authorization. Results are entered in the fire safety briefing log under Order No. 1120. Program storage and version tracking: Program storage and revision​. Review the content when requirements or site conditions affecting the program change.

Time allocation is approved according to the site's complexity and the trainee group; the total matches the overall program duration.
