SCIE Safety Records in offices and coworking: low risk does not mean no risk
Offices and coworking spaces are often seen as "safe" environments. This perception often leads to relaxation in fire safety control.
However, the SCIE (Segurança Contra Incêndio em Edifícios) Regulations apply equally to these spaces. And Safety Records are mandatory, regardless of the activity carried out.
Without organized and updated records, non-compliance is real.
The responsibility belongs to whoever manages the space
The responsibility for SCIE compliance falls on:
- Owners
- Operating entities
- Building managers
- Coworking managers
Even when there is contracted maintenance, the responsibility is not transferable. In case of inspection, the question is simple: where are the records and when was the last check?
The absence of records can result in:
- Fines
- Activity suspension
- Space closure
- Problems with insurance companies
- Reputation damage
The real problems in offices and coworking
Practice always shows the same problems:
- Records on paper or non-existent
- Checks forgotten due to lack of alerts
- Maintenance done without documentary proof
- Lack of control in shared spaces
- Incidents resolved informally
- Difficulty responding quickly to an inspection
- High user turnover
Everything seems simple... until proof is required.
Specific risk factors in these spaces
Even in offices, risks exist:
- Overloaded electrical installations
- IT equipment in continuous operation
- Improvised extensions and outlets
- Occupied evacuation routes
- People unfamiliar with the building
- Extended or 24/7 operation
Without effective records, these risks are not controlled — they go unnoticed.
