Fire Safety Training For Care Homes
Understand the fire risks unique to care settings and learn how to support a safe, calm evacuation for residents with limited mobility.
- CPD Accredited
- Fire Authority Approved
What this course covers
Care homes face fire safety challenges that go beyond a typical office or shop floor, since many residents cannot evacuate independently and rely entirely on trained staff during an emergency. This programme addresses those pressures directly, covering fire chemistry, classification and prevention alongside sector-specific risks such as reduced mobility and overnight staffing.
Learners also cover the equipment found in a care setting and the evacuation protocols suited to residents who need assistance. The course supports compliance with UK fire safety law and is relevant to care workers, nurses, domestic staff and managers alike.
