Fire safety systems for care homes

Care homes provide help and support for vulnerable people and an important part of their duty is to provide safety within their buildings and to protect residents from the threat and outbreak of fire. Due to the nature of care homes it is essential that fire protection is well planned and procedures are communicated effectively.

Guidance for making a care home safe is covered under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Under this order the responsible person for the home must:

• Carry out a fire risk assessment
• Consider who is most at risk
• Provide general fire precautions
• Install any necessary fire safety systems for protection against flammable materials
• Create an evacuation plan
