In the Line of Fire - Hospitals and Nursing Homes
In the Line of Fire - Hospitals and Nursing Homes edition
Are you covered? As an employer with more than five staff, do you know that you are now legally required to provide basic fire safety training?
Learn HQ, in partnership with AT&F Solutions Ltd. offer you and your staff an opportunity to learn the necessary steps to avoid fires in the workplace. Most importantly, should the worst happen, you will know how to approach a fire incident calmly.
AT&F’s fire safety training course is a very comprehensive, interactive training module with a thorough assessment (multiple-choice) at the end. It is conveniently and securely accessible through a training portal on the Internet. Most importantly, it is cost-effective, priced to meet today’s budget constraints.
“In The Line Of Fire” is designed to offer your employees an in-depth approach to fire safety in the workplace – with the “If in Doubt, Get Out” message reinforced throughout.
All aspects of fire safety are covered, from prevention to reaction, and sessions include:
Fire Fundamentals – The Dangers of Fire; The Chemistry of Fire; Classes of Fire; Types of Extinguishers.
Fire Prevention – Good Housekeeping; General Fire Prevention; Practical Fire Safety.
Fire Emergency – Discovering a Fire; On Hearing The Alarm; Trapped by Smoke; Using Fire Equipment.
This course combines ‘real life’ role-playing scenarios (“missions”) to encourage each student to think about fire safety in the context of their own environment. The main missions are:
- Identify the type of fire and which extinguisher to use
- Identify possible fire safety hazards
- Take appropriate action when discovering a fire
In addition, with the needs of a hospital and nursing home in mind, we cover horizontal evacuation, evacuation priorities, information for ward managers and procedures for specialist units.
At the very end, there is a multiple-choice test, with test score for each member of your team recorded, providing proof of their level of fire safety training.
The message here is prevention. “In The Line Of Fire”, is possibly the most used fire safety training module in the UK today and has gained respect and endorsements from many leading fire authorities, including West Midlands Fire Service, Avon Fire & Rescue, Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue, and Nottingham Fire & Rescue Service.
