In accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of Act of the Czech National
Council No. 133/1985 Coll. on Fire Safety, as amended by subsequent regulations
(hereinafter referred to as the “FS Act”) and Section 30 of the Decree of the Ministry of
the Interior No. 246/2001 Coll. on the determination of conditions of fire safety and state
fire supervision (Fire Prevention Decree – hereinafter referred to as the “FP Decree”) and
pursuant to Section 10 (1) of Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education Institutions
and on modifications and amendments to other acts (Higher Education Act), hereinafter
referred to as the “Act”, I issue this Directive, necessary for the performance of duties
arising from the FS Act, regulations issued pursuant to it or from other regulations
governing duties in the field of fire safety (hereinafter referred to as “FS”) at Masaryk
University in Brno:
Section 1
Basic provisions
(1) This Directive defines the organization, management and inspection of fire safety,
as well as responsibility and obligations within the framework of Masaryk University
in Brno (hereinafter referred to as “MU”). The Directive is binding on all faculties,
university institutes, and university facilities (hereinafter referred to as “MU
constituent parts” – see Annex No. 2 to MU Statutes). The Rector, the bursar, a
faculty dean, a faculty secretary and directors of other constituent parts of MU are
entitled to issue other internal standards necessary for the implementation of this
Directive, upon a proposal by a person qualified in the field of FS or FS engineer
(hereinafter referred to as the “FS specialist”) in case they do not contradict FS
regulations and this Directive.
(2) This Directive is part of MU fire safety documentation under Sections 27 and 30 FP
Decree. It is one of governing documents, which determines the system of
organization, necessary for the performance of duties ensuing from fire safety
regulations. The Directive is based on the classification of operations into categories
of fire hazard (Section 4 FS Act, Section 28 FP Decree). MU operations include those
with increased fire hazard and without increased fire hazard. The classification of an
operation according to fire hazard is carried out by a faculty, university institute and
university facility independently through a person qualified in the field of FS or FS
engineer. The Rector is responsible for the classification of the Rector Office’s
operations, the dean is responsible for the classification of the faculty’s operations,
the director or the head is responsible for the classification of operations of the
university institute and facility.
(3) The performance of duties in the area of fire safety in leased premises is based on a
contract. In case other legal entities or natural persons conducting business carry
out operations in MU premises, the contract shall contain the name of a person who
is responsible on behalf of the tenant for the performance of duties in the field of
FS. Such person must be provided information about the fire hazards in the leased
premises.
(4) In the case of contractor’s operations involving increased fire hazard, the conditions
are determined and compliance secured by the legal entity or natural person
conducting business who carry out the operations. Such operations are carried out
on the basis of conditions regulating fire safety, which are submitted in the printed
2/33
form to the relevant head of facility management. Upon their assessment, the head
of facility management issues permission to carry out such operations. In case the
client requires that certain instructions, legal and other regulations are complied
with in order to ensure fire safety in places where the contractor performs
operations involving increased fire hazard, such requirements must be raised in
writing and confirmed by the contractor.
(5) Where one-off events are organized, which may affect the application of fire safety
conditions determined for standard activities, the determination of and compliance
with new conditions are the responsibility of the organizer.
