Fire Alarm Systems In Care Homes
Care homes are one of the various commercial premises where specific UK fire safety regulations determine the various fire safety procedures and fire safety equipment which the facility must have. According to guidelines published by the Home Office via GOV.uk, residential care premises must, at the very least, have a automatic fire detection system in place, as well as appropriate fire extinguishers positioned on escape routes and near fire-risk ares. Somebody should also be trained to be responsible for fire safety on the premises, carrying our fire risk assessments in accordance with government legislation.
To meet the required fire protection measures for your care home, you should partner with a fire expert company like Mercury, who will be able to recommend and install a compliant fire alarm system. A high-quality fire alarm system with automatic fire detection and heat detectors installed by a qualified fire alarm engineer will meet fire safety regulations and ensure your residents and staff are kept safe from fire hazards. Combined with food fire safety procedures like staff training for fire wardens, regular fire risk assessments, access to detailed fire safety plans and a well-practised standard evacuation procedure that will evacuate vulnerable people promptly, a fire alarm system should offer maximum protection.
