Every member of the University is obliged to contribute to fire prevention and control – to do so, they must know what the correct behaviour is and what is to be done in case of an emergency. Visitors and contractors also have to play their part.

To allow everyone to inform themselves about the overall conditions and defined measures, both are described in the Fire Safety Regulations for the Essen campus and the Duisburg campus.
