From a text dealing with reconstruction work on a company canteen and cafeteria:

structural and technical fire safety (systems / mechanisms)
Explanation:
I would assume the structural is to do with the design of the building (fire doors, exits, etc.) and the technical is the alarms and warning systems.

But I would, to a certain extent, be guessing!
