Tom Sutton Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 The legislation that covers residential care homes is The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 like all health and safety regulation is all about risk assessment and the Responsible Person is required to conduct a fire risk assessment. The guides are Residential care premises and the additional guide to residential care homes which will assist you to conduct a FRA or you can employ a FR assessor to assist you. How you achieve it will depend on many factors and the guidance should assist you. It all depends on your fire evacuation plan what equipment you will need to implement the plan. Check out http://www.firesafe....ety-order-2005/ and it may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
