Yes, in addition to concept creation, Safety Group also supports with training and evacuation drills. This not only documents procedures but also allows for their practical training. This creates security, improves responsiveness, and helps to identify weaknesses early on.

Evacuation concepts for events, companies and special constructions
Clear evacuation plans for greater safety in emergencies
"A safe evacuation is not a coincidence, but the result of clear structures, trained personnel, and forward-thinking planning."
Konstantin Rohr | Managing Director of Safety Group S.à.r.l.
The Safety Group S.à r.l. supports companies, operators, organisers and owners of special constructions in the creation and implementation of professional evacuation concepts that protect people and minimise damage in an emergency.
The focus is on organisational preparedness for emergencies. Our evacuation plans ensure that responsibilities are clearly defined, procedures are understood, and all parties involved can act safely and in a coordinated manner in the event of danger.
Objective and Fundamentals of an Evacuation Concept
Aim of an evacuation concept
An evacuation concept ensures that all persons present are led quickly, in an orderly fashion, and safely out of the danger zone in the event of a fire, technical fault, or other hazardous situation.
This prioritises not only escape routes but, in particular, clear role distributions, functioning communication and trained evacuation assistants.
Legal bases and technical rules
The obligation to plan and organise evacuation measures arises from various legal requirements and recognised technical standards, including:
- ArbSchG, Section 10
- Workplace Regulations (ArbStättV)
- DGUV Regulation 1 – Principles of Prevention
- ASR A2.3 – Escape Routes and Emergency Exits
- ASR A1.3 – Safety and Health Protection Signage
In addition, the following standards and guidelines form the technical basis for our evacuation concepts:
- DIN ISO 23601 – Design of Escape and Evacuation Plans
- DIN EN ISO 7010 – Safety Signs
- DIN 14096 – Fire Safety Regulations (Parts A, B and C)
- VDI 4062 – Evacuation of persons from buildings and facilities
The VDI 4062 is considered a recognised rule of engineering and describes the planning, organisation and execution of evacuations, particularly in complex buildings, large crowds and restricted structural possibilities.
Evacuation concepts for special operational areas
Special structures: Theme parks
Theme parks generally count as special constructions and place particular demands on evacuation concepts.
Additionally relevant here, among other things, are:
- Building Regulations
- Ordinances on Assembly Venues
- DIN EN 13814 – Safety of amusement rides and attractions
Evacuation strategies must take into account visitor flows, extensive grounds, rides, and varying hazard situations. VDI 4062 provides a practical basis for organisational evacuation.
Historical Buildings: Castles and Palaces
For historic buildings such as castles and palaces, structural modifications are often only possible to a limited extent. Evacuation concepts are therefore of particular importance here.
Relevant fundamentals include:
- Building Regulations
- Heritage protection laws of the federal states
- DIN 14096 – Fire Safety Regulations
- VDI 4062 – Evacuation of persons from buildings and facilities
In these cases, organisational and personnel measures are the priority to ensure the safety of visitors and employees.

Instruction of evacuation assistants
An evacuation concept is only effective if the people involved know their roles. Therefore, we train employees specifically as Evacuation assistant.
The instructions include:
- Roles and responsibilities in the event of an evacuation

We create clear, understandable, and practical Instructions for all relevant functions, including for:
- Evacuation leader
- Assembly point leader
- Evacuation assistant
These instructions form the basis for briefings, evacuation drills and emergencies.
Carrying out evacuation drills
We accompany evacuation drills in a practical way, observe processes on site, and document weaknesses. Subsequently, you will receive concrete recommendations on how evacuation routes, communication, role allocation, and response times can be improved.
