People safety provision problems at coal enterprise office buildings (ABK) are disclosed. It is indicated that the main problem is caused by inability to bring all buildings and structures, designed and built before the entry into force of a "technical regulation" in the Russian Federation, to modern requirements in the field of fire safety. "Blind" implementation of existing requirements in the field of fire safety is currently often not economically feasible. At the same time, not always keeping to the requirements of regulatory and technical rules ensures people’s safety in case of fire. In modern conditions for the coal industry, the majority of which can be related to the objects of large and medium-sized businesses, it is not possible to contain substantial material and technical "frozen" provisions for liquidation of emergency situations involving fires. The paper notes the need for alternative, low-cost measures to ensure the fire safety of people in connection with the rights of the owner of the property at risk. Taking into account these problems, possibility to protect people from fire by rescue means in the buildings or structures of coal enterprises is shown.
