At present, the "dual-track system" is implemented for fire safety inspections before the public gathering places are put into use and opened, which can be applied for approval in accordance with the general procedures, or the notification and commitment system can be adopted.
For general procedures, you need to submit an application first, and it will be accepted within 1 working day.
If the materials are incomplete, the materials will be returned and the materials to be completed will be notified at one time.
If the materials are complete, the data review and on-site inspection will be carried out within 2 working days, and the fire safety inspection certificate will be issued if it is qualified, and the "decision to disagree with the use and operation" will be issued if it is unqualified, and the applicant needs to apply for a review until it is qualified to obtain the certificate.
Compared with the general procedure, the notification and commitment system has greatly reduced the time limit for approval.
The applicant only needs to fill in the "Fire Safety Notification Commitment for the Putting into Use and Business of Public Gathering Places", make a commitment to meet the fire safety standards, submit the required materials, and be responsible for the authenticity of its commitment and materials, and then receive the "Fire Safety Inspection Opinion before the Public Gathering Places are put into use and opened" on the spot.
For many applicants who are eager to open their businesses, the notification and commitment system truly achieves the same-day declaration and same-day certification.
However, the notification and commitment system does not mean that there is no supervision.
After the declaration is completed, the fire department will check the scene within 20 working days.
Therefore, the reporting unit needs to carry out self-inspection and rectification during this period to ensure that the fire protection project meets the requirements of the specification and is ready for inspection.
If it is found that the actual situation is consistent with the content of the commitment, the unit will be included in the scope of "double random" spot checks.
In other words, the notification and commitment system is to change the pre-acceptance to the post-event, so that the operator can greatly shorten the declaration process, and the business site can be put into use and open as soon as possible.
What should I do if the fire and rescue agency finds a problem during the inspection?
If the verification finds that the actual situation is inconsistent with the content of the commitment, the fire rescue agency shall be punished in accordance with law, and if the conditions for temporary sealing are met, it shall be temporarily sealed in accordance with law.
At the same time, within working days from the date of verification, a notice of correction shall be made and delivered within a time limit for fire safety inspection of public gathering places.
The fire and rescue agency shall conduct a review within working days from the date on which the period for correction is ordered to expire or the party's application for review is received.
Where corrections are not made within the time limit or the requirements are still not met after rectification, the license shall be revoked in accordance with law.
While the notification and commitment system provides convenience to applicants, it also brings corresponding risks.
The fire protection technical standards are highly professional, and the applicant may have a misunderstanding deviation, and once the promise is untrue, it will face serious legal consequences of a fine of 30,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan and a punishment for dishonesty, and even lead to the revocation of the license.
On the other hand, after the notification and commitment system is permitted, the fire department will conduct an on-site inspection, which will lead to a risky operation and supervision vacuum period of up to 30 natural days, during which the damage in the event of a fire accident is incalculable.
In view of the risk problem of the notification and commitment system, it is recommended that the applicant hire a professional fire technical service organization to provide guidance, and the professional organization will assist in making the commitment in accordance with the fire safety requirements, so as to improve the quality of the commitment and reduce the risk of false commitment.
