OVERVIEW

About this course.

Fire safety is one of the most important responsibilities in any care home or supported-living service. Fire can take hold and spread within minutes, and the people who live in care settings are among the most vulnerable to it — many residents are frail or immobile, live with dementia or sensory impairment, sleep on the premises, and depend entirely on staff to recognise danger and help them to safety.

This course explains the law that governs fire safety in care homes — the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the ‘responsible person’ — why care settings are higher risk, and the practical knowledge every member of staff needs: the fire triangle, common causes of fire including the paraffin-based emollient hazard, prevention and housekeeping, detection and alarms, compartmentation and fire doors, means of escape, Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs), progressive horizontal evacuation, and exactly what to do if a fire happens.
