Basic Fire Safety Awareness Course for Care Homes Training

Description

This Course at a Glance

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to all workplaces, regardless of their size, and mandates employers to offer adequate fire awareness training for all employees. Companies, therefore, have a legal obligation to follow government-issued fire safety laws and legislation. Maintaining proper fire safety in care homes is indeed a crucial concern as it is a matter of life and death because of the vulnerable people residing there. During any emergency relating to fire, it is extremely difficult to evacuate the vulnerable residents safely as most of them are very old or completely bedridden.

This course is designed to equip you with basic fire safety awareness with additional safety measures tailored specifically for anyone who owns or works in a care home. This course will train you to respond quickly and efficiently if a fire breaks out in care homes and ensure the vulnerable occupants are evacuated safely out of the danger zone.

The London Fire Brigade upon investigation came to the conclusion that 29% of the care homes had failures relating to fire doors within their premises, 10% had inadequate training for staff and managers and 14% had evidence of poor emergency planning or a potential lack of staff to implement emergency plans. Hence, it is significantly important for care homes to train their staff with the essential knowledge and skills to tackle any unfortunate fire events that may occur within the premises and implement emergency plans to mitigate the potential risks associated with fire.

Upon successful completion of this Fire Safety Awareness Training Course, you will be able to work out effective evacuations and risk assessment plans to avoid injuries or even fatalities that can result in tragic incidents such as death.

This Fire Safety Awareness Training Course is suitable for:

Whether you are the owner of any care home or an employee looking to ensure the safety of the vulnerable residents residing there, by implementing property safety protocols, this course will set you up with the appropriate skills and knowledge to design an effective fire safety evacuation plan to protect them by all means.
