About this course
Fire Training is a legal requirement, whatever sector you work in. This course has been produced specifically and is the perfect way to deliver fire safety training for hospital staff and carers within care homes to enhance their fire safety knowledge to keep residents and patients safe.
Fire safety in the care industry can be particularly challenging. Fire safety in these environments involves keeping people safe who may be emotionally vulnerable, highly dependent, physically restricted or even completely unable to protect or evacuate themselves without assistance.
This online Fire Awareness Training in Care course covers a variety of topics, including an introduction to fire hazards; fires in care settings; a guide to common fire signage; the different types of fire extinguishers and what to do in the event of an emergency. Due to the nature of staff responsibility within Healthcare, this fire training looks at the correct way to plan and implement an evacuation, as well as perform adequate risk assessments.
We’ve delivered hundreds of thousands of training sessions to the care sector over the last decade. Assess the suitability of this course by requesting a free trial. We also provide a fantastic array of online Fire Safety training courses, to improve your employee’s knowledge of fire safety in the workplace.

Why is fire safety for care homes training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires there to be a ‘responsible person’ to ensure that employees are given sufficient fire safety training.
By law, employers are required to provide fire training to all staff. It is good practice to take training annually to empower staff with the knowledge and understanding of how to act responsibly and raise awareness of risks in a fire
The responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training. [this must] (a) include suitable and sufficient instruction and training on the appropriate precautions and actions to be taken by the employee in order to safeguard himself and other relevant persons on the premises; (b) be repeated periodically where appropriate
Safety
Our fire safety training for hospital staff and care workers help your employees remain alert to fire hazards, enabling them to protect both themselves and the people in their care. This course not only improves the care staff’s ability to prevent a fire but also how to act if one were to break out.
