Welcome to The Mandatory Training Group's Fire Safety in Health and Care online training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
Since the publication of the fire safety Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the provision of fire training has become a legal requirement for all employees within the UK. Fire safety in the health and care environments is particularly challenging since many people will require some degree of assistance from staff to ensure their safety in the event of a fire.
Fire within a health or care setting can have a significant impact and consequences which can include property loss, injury and potential loss of life. High levels of fire safety awareness and knowledge by the health and care workforce is essential if safe environments are to be maintained, and the distressing consequences that can be caused by fire are to be prevented.
