Fire Safety for Care Homes Training Online

 Approved by RoSPA & CPD Covers UK & Irish Legislation

This Fire Safety for Care Homes Training Online course is designed to equip learners with the skills and knowledge to prevent fire and give clear instruction that you need to follow in the event of a fire in your Care Home. This Fire Safety for Care Homes Training course has been built around the legislative guidelines and best practice that outline the main causes of fire in care homes, how to prevent a fire starting in the first place, different classes of fire and how to deal with fire upon discovery.

Learners will gain the skills to help them to identify potential fire hazards and implement fire prevention controls to help maintain your safety and that of your colleagues and residents of the care home. Current legislation, in the UK and Ireland, applies to all care homes regardless of the number of employees and requires employers to provide adequate training in fire awareness for all members of their staff. This is particularly important as the residents onsite will be considered vulnerable and will need the assistance of ALL STAFF IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

Guardian Safety’ Fire Safety for Care Homes Training Online course is aimed at all employees to assist them in identifying and reducing the risk that fire presents in any care setting.
