Municipality Goeree-Overflakkee: Fire safety measures for a building
A building must be fireproof. For some buildings you have to declare that you are going to use it. You can apply for a permit for some buildings. You can do this via the online environment counter.
Description
There are national guidelines for the fire-safe use of buildings. Do you want to use a building? Sometimes you have to report this.
There are additional requirements for the fire safety of primary schools, day care centers and care homes. You apply for an environmental permit for these buildings. You are not allowed to use the building until you have the permit.
Do you have a fire safety system, such as a sprinkler system? Make sure you can show that the installation meets the requirements.
For more information, see the Helpdesk building regulations and fire-safe use.
