Kazakhstan Fire-Technical Minimum (PTM) study plan

Kazakhstan Fire-Technical Minimum (PTM) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Fire safety requirements for buildings, structures and premises; evacuation and fire protection systems & Fire prevention regime and fire safety measures in organizations

  • Map the structure of the exam domains and allocate remaining study hours by weight (15/15/14/12/12/10/10/12)

  • List the mandatory fire safety requirements for buildings and premises from the Kazakh technical regulations and mark which ones apply to your own workplace

  • Draft a one-page checklist of evacuation route and exit requirements, then walk your building and record every deviation
