Sandro U.
Last position:
HSE Manager at Ullertec GmbH
As Managing Director of Ullertec GmbH, my focus is on advising and supporting companies in the areas of occupational health and safety, workplace safety, and operational safety organization.
As a specialist for occupational safety, I support companies with safety-related services in accordance with DGUV Regulation 2, the creation and further development of risk assessments, operating instructions, and occupational safety organizations, as well as with site inspections, safety committee meetings, and the implementation of legal requirements.
Ullertec GmbH, based in Bochum, has established itself as a specialized service provider for occupational health and safety in the Ruhr area and in North Rhine-Westphalia. Our customers include companies and organizations from industry, production, logistics, skilled trades, services, and public or municipal sectors.
In addition to working as an external specialist for occupational safety, our services also include fire protection, safety and health coordination (SiGeKo), expert noise measurements, inspections of work equipment, and practical training and instruction.
A key success is the continuous building of long-term safety-related support relationships and a growing customer base. In doing so, we combine many years of industry experience with modern, structured health and safety consulting.
Our goal is not to represent health and safety only on paper. We analyze workplaces, machines, and operational processes directly on site and develop clear measures that can be implemented economically.
Ullertec stands for practical, structured, and reliable health and safety from Bochum - across the Ruhr area, in North Rhine-Westphalia, and for selected services nationwide.

About the technology
Structural and Technical Fire Safety in Modern Construction
Fire protection covers structural, technical, and organizational measures designed to prevent fires and protect human life and property. Specialists in this domain evaluate building layouts, compartmentalization, escape routes, and fire-resistant materials to ensure comprehensive facility integrity.
Core Engineering Disciplines and Technical Systems
Specialists address both passive systems and active building automation. They specify early detection sensors, automatic sprinkler installations, gas suppression mechanisms, smoke extraction units, and integration with modern building management systems across industrial plants, data centers, and commercial complexes.
Regulatory Compliance and Building Standards in Germany
Navigating regulatory approval requires deep knowledge of state building codes (Landesbauordnung) and technical standards.
- Drafting comprehensive Brandschutzkonzepte for construction permits
- Alignment with DIN 14096, DIN 4102, and European EN 13501 standards
- Implementing VdS guidelines for technical fire fighting systems
- Coordinating with local authorities (Brandschutzdienststelle) and inspectors
When Organizations Require Freelance Specialists
Companies hire external professionals during major facility expansions, regulatory compliance reviews, or complex renovations. Freelance support proves vital when internal engineering teams encounter specialized industrial hazards, hazardous material storage, or complex smoke evacuation scenarios requiring rapid, verified expertise.
Tools, Modeling, and Planning Ecosystem
Modern fire safety planning relies on advanced simulation and documentation tools. Professionals use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications like FDS and PyroSim for smoke propagation modeling, Pathfinder for evacuation simulations, and Revit or AutoCAD for integrating fire safety plans into Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.
Hallmarks of Seasoned Technical Specialists
A top professional combines structural engineering insight with deep regulatory knowledge. They provide defensible risk assessments, design cost-effective preventive layouts, communicate clearly with municipal approval boards, and ensure technical documentation stands up to rigorous third-party auditing.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Fire Protection — answered in short.
Specialists deliver complete fire safety concepts, evacuation calculations, smoke dissipation models, and suppression system designs. A strong fire protection professional coordinates technical approvals with authorities and conducts site inspections during construction.
Structural safety focuses on physical building elements like firewalls, compartmentalization, and load-bearing resistance. In contrast, technical fire protection addresses active equipment such as sprinkler systems, smoke extraction fans, fire dampers, and alarm systems.
Look for state-certified experts (Staatlich anerkannte Sachverständige) or recognized specialists certified by organizations like VdS or TÜV. Proven familiarity with the relevant Landesbauordnung and industrial building guidelines is crucial for smooth municipal approvals.
Plan creation, computer-based smoke modeling, and permit documentation are handled remotely using BIM and CAD software. However, effective fire safety engineering also requires scheduled on-site inspections for construction verification and final system commissioning.
Professionals rely on simulation software such as Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) for heat and smoke movement, along with Pathfinder for egress analysis. For spatial planning, fire protection designs are integrated directly into platforms like Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD.
Freelancers provide targeted expertise for complex challenges, such as lithium-ion battery storage or high-rack logistics centers, without long agency lead times. Engaging a dedicated Brandschutz specialist provides direct access to senior technical insight for project-critical deadlines.
All official approval documents, authority correspondence, and Brandschutzkonzepte must be written in precise German to satisfy administrative law. While internal coordination may occur in English, your fire protection expert must navigate German legal and municipal terminology fluently.
Specialists evaluate inventory plans, inspect installed fire barriers and technical installations, and check compliance against current regulations. A qualified fire protection professional highlights existing gaps and drafts step-by-step modernization measures that minimize disruption.
