Fire Risk Assessment for Care Homes
The Fire Risk Assessment is one of the packages from Central Management Systems to accompany your Risk Assessment package.
Care homes used to be inspected by the Fire Service and issued with a Fire Certificate if all was well. This is no longer the case and the Fire Service are now the enforcing authority to ensure that the new rules, introduced under recent fire legislation, are in place. The most important change was the introduction of the fire risk assessment. This now has to be carried out by the person in charge of the building. In a care home this is normally the manager.
Our fire risk assessment document guides you through the process of completing a fire risk assessment. It is written with a care home specifically in mind. It will assist you in identifying specific requirements under the legislation such as:
Sources of ignition;
Sources of fuel;
Sources of oxygen.
It will help you to identify the people at risk and the different risks due to their condition. Having identified the above you will then be in position to make an assessment on the level of risk in your care home. You can then decide if more needs to be done.
Further sections guide you through the fire detection and fire fighting equipment and the maintenance required for these.
Finally, when you have completed the document it will serve as a documented record of your fire risk assessment which is a legal requirement and checked by the Fire Service.
The sample page shows the typical format. There is also room in the document to add items that are unique to your school.
