Our Story
...lights you safe way...
Majaczech, z.s. was born from a transformative moment during our first visit to the Scandinavian Fire Protection Association, where we witnessed firsthand the advanced approaches to fire safety research that fundamentally changed our understanding of disaster risk management. This inspiring encounter ignited our mission to bridge cutting-edge research with practical applications.
We are an international association of experts collaborating with specialists in the Czech Republic and worldwide, partnering with universities, research institutions, and organizations to address specific challenges in safety and disaster risk management.
As active members of the Confederation of Fire Protection Associations in Europe, we participate in training, guideline development, and marketing committees, contributing to the formation of European fire safety standards.
We specialize in:
- Consulting and implementation of non-standardized experiments in fire protection
- Education and training of disaster risk management professionals
- Consulting to enhance corporate safety culture
- Contract research and data analysis for solving complex safety challenges
Our approach stems from an independent expert perspective that overcomes operational blindness and offers innovative solutions based on scientific knowledge and international best practices.
