Fire safety in a care setting is about far more than having the right documents in place. Policies need to work in practice, responsibilities must be understood and procedures need to reflect the realities of protecting people who may need additional support in an emergency.
With just one week to go, there is still time to secure your place on the first of our latest Fire Safety Essentials for Care Settings webinars, delivered in partnership with Omny.
Thursday 15 October, 12.30pm to 1.15pm
Hosted by Russell Corlett, Health & Safety Director at Omny Group, Kevin Bennett, Head of Fire Safety at Omny Group and Ben Simmonds, Broking and Claims Specialist at Quality Care Group, this practical session has been developed specifically with care providers in mind.
Russell, Kevin bring extensive health and safety and fire safety expertise to the session, helping care business owners, operators and managers understand not simply what their responsibilities are, but how good fire safety should work in practice. while Ben his indepth knowledge around fire claims.
A fire policy should never be something that is written, filed away and only revisited when an inspection or review is approaching.
It should be a practical document that supports your wider fire risk management arrangements, helps your team understand their responsibilities and ultimately contributes to keeping residents, staff and visitors safe.
During the webinar, Russell and Kevin will explore:
The aim is for attendees to leave with a clearer understanding of what a robust fire policy looks like, alongside practical steps they can take to strengthen compliance and resident safety.
Then We Turn to Your Building
The first webinar focuses on turning policy into practice, but effective fire safety also depends on understanding the building in which care is being delivered.
Russell and Kevin will therefore return for the second session in the series:
Understanding Your Building: Fire Safety Essentials for Care Settings
Thursday 5 November, 12.30pm to 1.15pm
This next session will shift the focus from your policies and responsibilities to the physical environment, helping providers understand how their building forms part of their overall approach to fire safety.
If you own, operate or manage a care service, these sessions are an opportunity to hear directly from experienced specialists and take away practical guidance you can apply within your organisation.
Session one is only a week away, so secure your place today.
