Why is this Fire Safety in Health and Care course important?
Since the publication of the fire safety Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the provision of fire training has become a legal requirement for all employees within the UK. Fire safety in the healthcare environment is particularly challenging since many people in healthcare environments will require some degree of assistance from healthcare staff to ensure their safety in the event of a fire (Department of Health 2013).
Fire within a healthcare setting can have a significant impact and consequences which can include property loss, injury and potential loss of life. High levels of fire safety awareness and knowledge by the healthcare workforce is essential if safe healthcare environments are to be maintained, and the distressing consequences that can be caused by fire are to be prevented.
Within the UK, health and care services are provided in a wide range of environments, and it is essential that depends upon the nature of the environment, which might be categorised as either simple or complex, that the relevant guidance related to fire safety management is used to help assess and address potential fire safety risks.
