Why this course?
A fire can catch and spread quickly. In the worst scenarios, fires can lead to loss of life, health complications and property damage.
Having an appropriate action plan in place in the event of a fire is paramount to ensure everyone’s safety. Having an astute fire safety procedure in place ensures that everyone leaves the building in a safe and calm manner and without delay. Without a procedure in place, people are likely to panic and run in all directions.
Fire safety is even more important in establishments like residential care homes, where there may be lots of people in the building who are hard of hearing, have impaired vision or are unable to walk.
In addition to the Fire Safety Order (FSO) 2005, fire safety in care homes coms under the Care Home Regulations Act of 2001 which covers how care homes should approach fire safety and how complaints about fire safety in a care home should be handled.
It is the responsibility of the care home to comply with all the requirements set out in the act.
Description
Our VideoTile Learning Basic Fire Safety Awareness for Care Homes e-Learning course will provide candidates with a general understanding of basic fire awareness including what should be done in the event of a fire, how to prevent a fire occurring and a basic introduction of the protocol of extinguishing a fire.
