FIRE SAFETY IN CARE HOMES

We ensure robust and cost effective fire protection for residents and staff.

Keeping your residents and patients safe

The dangers and risk of harm as a cause of fire are magnified in a care home setting where residents may not be able to escape unaided. A crucial responsibility for any care home manager or owner is to carry out a thorough risk assessment of the premises to assess the various hazards and how they can be addressed.

This government fire safety offers a detailed guide to risk assessment responsibilities in residential care premises. Our engineers have a great deal of experience identifying fire hazards in nursing homes and we carry out this fire risk assessment for you.
