On-Site Fire Risk Assessment - Care Homes

Care home managers have a legal responsibility to ensure that the elderly and vulnerable are cared for, and this extends to the fire safety within their care facility. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that fire risk assessments must be carried out in businesses and organisations by a Responsible Person. Most care facilities do not have additional staff to assign a Competent Person to properly assess the risks and define the necessary corrective actions, so the fire risk assessment can be outsourced to Safelincs.

Pricing is fixed subject to reasonable conditions for residential homes up to 50 beds. For pricing on larger premises, please contact our Servicing Team today on 0800 612 4827 or at servicing@safelincs.co.uk.

Your nursing home fire risk assessment will tell you all you need to know about the fire hazards present and how to control them. The service includes FREE access to our Online FRA Portal with which you can keep track of the required control measures. Multi-home businesses benefit as the Portal can cover any number of premises, so you can manage your fire safety responsibilities for all your residences from any location.

Your fire risk assessment will take into account details such as:

• The various responsibilities of managers, staff, visitors, and contractors
• Current and potential fire hazards, and how to reduce or eliminate them
• Legal requirements for fire detection and warning systems, escape routes, and emergency lighting
• The specific risks presented to elderly and vulnerable residents with impaired movement, perception, or cognitive abilities
• Required and recommended fire fighting equipment or systems for your premises
• Fire emergency procedures and how to improve them
• Evacuation equipment such as sledges, sheets, chairs, and related training
• Service schedules for alarms systems, fire suppression, lighting, and evac equipment
• Time periods and triggers for review of the fire risk assessment and control measures

Any equipment that is recommended through our risk assessment service (except emergency lighting and illuminated signage) can be purchased from Safelincs at an exclusive 10% discount.

Our trained and professional fire risk assessors will inspect your site in line with all of your requirements for safety, hygiene, privacy, and confidentiality.

The FRA service also includes access to all of your information through our sophisticated online portal – more details on this FREE system below.
