How can the law prevent further tragedies in escape rooms?

In a comprehensive statement for Forbes, Joanna Sebzda-Załuska took the floor in the discussion on the safety of escape rooms, the problem of a loophole in regulations, and also inadequate preventive actions that could save us from similar tragedies.

– If we look at the issue of safety in escape rooms through the prism of a loophole in regulations, we should consider amendment to the Regulation of the Ministry of Interior and Administration regarding approval of a building permit design in terms of fire protection. Nowadays, the approval is only required for building permit designs relating to building facilities that are essential for the protection of life, health, property or the environment against fire, natural disaster or other local hazards. The amendment to the said regulation should go in such a way that the activity provided in the form of an escape room or similar would each time require approval of a fire protection expert, regardless of the type of facility in which it is carried out.
