Evacuation Strategy: Fire Safety Essentials for Care Settings

Having an evacuation strategy is one thing. In this practical 45-minute webinar, we’ll explore evacuation strategies in care settings, the factors that shape effective planning, and how to ensure staff can respond confidently in an emergency.

We’ll also look at the role of resident needs, staffing levels and building design in developing a safe and realistic evacuation approach.

What we cover:

A fire policy is more than a compliance document. It’s a critical part of keeping your people safe and demonstrating effective risk management. We’ll cover:

Key evacuation principles in care settings.

Understanding stay put, phased and full evacuation strategies
Factors influencing a safe and effective evacuation plan.

The role of Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs).

Common challenges and lessons from real-world incidents.

Testing, reviewing and practising your evacuation strategy.

The insurance and business interruption implications of a fire incident.

How incidents can affect future premiums, terms and insurer appetite.

This session is designed to help you understand how effective evacuation strategies are developed, implemented and tested within care settings.

You’ll gain practical insights into assessing your current arrangements, identifying potential gaps, and building confidence in managing evacuation procedures to protect residents, staff and visitors during an emergency.
