Basic Fire Safety Awareness for Care Homes

Basic fire safety is more inclusive than ever before. In the past, fire safety consisted of little more than a warning from the fire department to have a working smoke detector on each building floor. Nowadays, safety is much more detailed and based on a plan developed by professionals in the field of public safety.

In the UK, approximately 1.7 million people live in care homes that provide short-term care for old age people. Unfortunately, there are also nearly 80,000 fires each year in British homes to which they are exposed. It means that every 10 minutes, an incident occurs at a care home resulting in death or severe injury.

Due to this, all businesses in the United Kingdom (UK) must follow the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This training is a safety requirement for all employees in the work environment. If you do not take the training, you are not allowed to work. For this purpose, this basic safety awareness course fulfills your needs. It will explain how fires can be prevented or mitigated and how to implement safety controls in your work environment.
