Book excerpt: This manual advises persons concerned about planning for fire emergencies in board and care homes. Because board and care homes encompass a wide variety of facilities, the manual does not suggest any single plan, but rather instructs operators how to tailor plans to the circumstances in particular board and care homes. The manual includes exercises designed to select the most appropriate combinations of escape and refuge strategies for particular facilities, and how to anticipate the assistance needs of residents in a fire emergency. Also included are nontechnical descriptions of fire protection techniques appropriate to board and care homes, specific suggestions for training staff and residents using three types of fire drills, and advice about how to motivate staff and residents and how staff and residents should react when a fire is suspected or discovered. Finally, appendices provide step-by-step guides for writing emergency procedures for individuals or groups of both residents and staff, as well as a list of resources where interested persons can seek further help.

Book excerpt: New fire safety rules affecting all non-domestic premises in England and Wales will come into force on 1 October 2006, in accordance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1541, ISBN 0110729455). This is one of a series of 11 publications which set out recommendations and guidance for employers, managers, occupiers and owners of particular types of premises on how to carry out a fire risk assessment and how to identify general fire precautions required (including fire detection and warning systems, firefighting equipment, escape routes, signs and training). This guide covers premises where the main use is the provision of residential care (where the primary purpose is to provide personal and/or nursing care, not healthcare treatment) and typical residential care premises might provide care for the elderly or infirm, children and young persons, people with special needs, and people with addictions). It may also be suitable for individual residential care premises that are part of other multi-use complexes. Other guides in this series cover healthcare premises (ISBN 1851128247) and sleeping accommodation (ISBN 1851128174).

Download or read book A Fire Safety Evaluation System for Board and Care Homes written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Board and Care Homes for residents with mental retardation, the infirmities of age, or mental illness are a new type of occupancy, and model fire safety codes do not have requirements specifically for this type of occupancy. In support of efforts to write model codes for this type of occupancy, a Fire Safety Evaluation System has been developed. It can be used for determining if a home has fire safety equivalent to that obtained by meeting the requirements of a given code. The system was calibrated for use with a proposed chapter of the Life Safety Code. There are three sets of requirements: one for small dwelling units, one for large facilities, and one for apartment houses. Within each set, there are four levels of evacuation capability of the residents and staff-prompt, moderate, slow, and impractical, each with a different requirement for fire safety features, so that homes with more capable residents will not be required to have as many fire safety features to meet the desired level of safety. A novel rating system is described for determining the evacuation capabilities of the residents with available staff assistance. A field test is described.
