Hospices Fire Risk Assessment

Built for Hospices

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 hospices premises.

Hospices combine sleeping-risk accommodation with sensitive, often end-of-life care, so fire safety must protect immobile residents without causing distress. The assessment focuses on refuge and evacuation for bed-bound patients, oxygen storage and use, and a calm, dignified evacuation route. As with all care premises, the RRO 2005 requires a suitable and sufficient assessment led by a competent person.
