Built for Care Homes
Sleeping-risk premises • CQC-ready • Evacuation strategy reviewed
Care homes are among the highest-risk premises for fire safety. Residents may be unable to evacuate without assistance, and a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment must account for sleeping accommodation, staffing levels at night, and a defensible progressive-horizontal evacuation strategy. HawkSwift's NEBOSH-qualified assessors specialise in care settings and produce reports that stand up to CQC inspection and Fire Authority scrutiny. This page is tailored specifically to care homes premises.
A care home is a sleeping-risk premises: residents may be unable to self-evacuate, and a single fire can place multiple vulnerable people at risk simultaneously. Under the RRO 2005 a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment must be led by someone competent in residential-care fire strategy — covering progressive horizontal evacuation, refuge areas, Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs), night-time staffing versus evacuation time, and the integrity of compartmentation and fire doors. Our NEBOSH-qualified assessors specialise in care settings and produce CQC-ready, Fire Authority-defensible reports.
