Chief Operating Officer Keith Massen, Fire Safety Manager Tel ext Nil Public Session Trust Fire Safety Policy keith.massen@nhs.net Department of Health - Firecode HTM 05 series Nil In determining this matter, the Board should have regard to the Core principles contained in the Constitution of: Equality of treatment and access to services High standards of excellence and professionalism Service user preferences Cross community working Best Value Accountability through local influence and scrutiny Background Details 1 An Annual Statement of Fire Safety must be produced and signed by the CEO. It does not now need to be submitted to the DH, however we are required to keep the document as evidence of performance against Outcome 10 of the Essential standards of quality and safety. The Trust Fire Policy (section 3.1) requires the report to be presented to the Board via the COO. Overall there has been good progress during the year. A greater standard of training has been achieved. There have been two minor fires where partial evacuation has taken place, however no major fire incidents have been recorded, and no enforcement notices have been served against the organisation.

5 The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, that came into force on 1st October 2006, requires 'general fire precautions' to be put in place 'where necessary and to the extent that is reasonable and practical' for the protection of the 'relevant persons'. Responsibility for complying with the Fire Safety Order rests with the responsible person. Broadly, in a workplace this would be the employer or any person who has control of any part of the premises (for example the occupier or owner). Where there is more than one responsible person such as in multi-occupied premises, all must take reasonable steps to co-operate and coordinate with each other. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for ensuring that, through appropriate delegation of responsibility within the organisation, current fire legislation is met and that, where appropriate, Firecode guidance is implemented in all premises owned or occupied by the Royal Wolverhampton Trust. The Chief Operating Officer is the Executive Director with delegated responsibility for fire safety issues across the organisation and the delivery of a safe responsive system. This report has been developed to provide the Trust Board of Directors accountable for the activities of the organisation with relevant information concerning the management and delivery of fire safety to the Trust during 2013, and a brief forecast into the year ahead, as in accordance with Healthcare Technical Manual 05-01: Managing Healthcare Fire Safety. Note The outcome of this report should be used as the basis on which to formulate the annual statement of fire safety, which is to be retained by the organisation and may be presented to the CQC along with supporting documentation as evidence of performance against Outcome 10 of the Essential standards of quality and safety. 2 Executive Summary 3
6 Good management of fire safety is essential to ensure that fires are unlikely to occur; that if they do occur they are likely to be controlled or contained quickly, effectively and safely; or that, if a fire does occur and grow, everyone in the premises can escape to a place of total safety easily and quickly. The following summary gives brief details of this Trusts development towards compliance with the mandatory requirements for the NHS in England (considered as best practice for NHS Foundation Trusts). REQUIREMENT PROGRESS R A G Clearly defined fire policy Board Level Director accountable to the Chief Executive for fire safety Fire Safety Manager to take the lead on all fire safety activities Compliant Compliant Compliant Have an effective fire safety management strategy which enables: Preparation and upkeep of the Report - sec 3.2 organisation s fire safety policy Fire Safety Committee - responsible for the monitoring and review of fire policy and protocols. Adequate means for quickly detecting and raising the alarm in case of fire Means for ensuring emergency evacuation procedures are suitable and sufficient for all areas, without reliance on external services Staff to receive fire safety training appropriate to the level of risk and duties they may be required to perform Reporting of fires and unwanted fire signals Partnership initiatives with other bodies and agencies involved in the provision of fire safety. Compliant Report sec 3.6 Formulation of a fire response strategy to mitigate the amended response by West Midlands Fire Service to be completed May 2013 Report sec 3.7 Mandatory training KPI is compliant.

8 3.1 Fire Policy HS: 26 Amended May 2013, the document embraces recent statutory and organisational changes and provides a sound logical fire safety protocol. The Trust Fire Safety Manager presented the policy to staff at the Senior Managers briefing on Thursday 18 th July Particular attention was given to the following amendments; the position of fire safety within the Trust reporting framework mandatory refresher fire safety training protocol for fire risk assessment fire procedures evacuation of disabled staff 3.2 Fire Safety Committee The Fire Safety Committee has continued to meet monthly, to manage fire safety and fulfil the requirements of Firecode ensuring measures are in place to meet the mandatory requirements of the NHS England. The frequency of meetings has been reviewed; meetings will now convene every two months. 3.3 Risk Register The Trust risk register acts as a repository for all risks identified by the organisation. Fig 1 indicates relevant amber fire safety risks currently documented by the organisation: Fig 1 Title ID Description Controls Level Management of Fire Risks 2854 Not all departments have received training prior to receipt of fire risk assessment documents Fire Safety Training Routine fire checks Block 14: A&E/Children s Wards Block 32: Women s Neonatal Unit Block 80 : Deanesly Centre Offsite: Wolverhampton Eye Infirmary - Compton Road Breaches in fire compartmentation on all floors Breaches in fire compartmentation on all floors Breaches in fire compartmentation on all floors 3479 Risk of arson endangering life Good exit routes, Fire Extinguishers & staff training. Compartmentalisat ion survey completed. Good exit routes, Fire Extinguishers & staff training. Compartmentalisat ion survey completed. Good exit routes, Fire Extinguishers & staff training. Fee proposal received Increased Security Patrols Installation of security barriers. 3.4 Fire Risk Assessment 6
9 The 2013 fire risk assessment programme consisting of 156 assessments has successfully been completed. Fire risk assessment documentation is a component of the newly developed Departmental Fire Safety Manual currently being distributed to all departments Trust wide. As part of the delivery procedure managers are provided with familiarisation training, this provides managers with an opportunity to ask any relevant questions and confirm understanding of how the manual is expected to be used. There has been a slight delay in the completion of hand overs; approximately 70 manuals are still outstanding. This issue has been recorded as a fire safety risk and entered onto the Trust risk register (ID 2854). Progress is being monitored by the Fire Safety Committee. 3.5 Compartmentation Surveys Compartmentation in relation to building design and construction is the dividing up of a building into fire tight cells to prevent fire spread in order to support progressive horizontal evacuation. A strategy has been developed (based on the significant findings indicated within the Fire Risk Assessments) to survey vulnerable buildings that contain clinical areas where fire evacuation could be compromised in the event of a serious fire. The following buildings have been identified: Block 32 Women s and Neonatal Unit Block 14 all floors including Accident and Emergency Department Block 8 Deanesly Centre. Blocks 32 and 14 have been surveyed and require remedial works to be undertaken to resolve. Each area has been entered onto the Trust risk register (see 3.3) 3.6 Fire Response Management Developed to provide board assurance that Trust staff are capable of responding to the initial stages of a fire emergency without reliance on the attendance of the fire service. Full twenty four hour response is now operational and operates in accordance with Trust fire policy HS Training The provision of fire safety training is a legal duty placed upon the organisation by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order The following information indicates how training has progressed within key areas. Induction Delivered as face to face training to all staff joining the organisation, by a member of the fire safety team. 671 members completed during Mandatory Fire Refresher Delivered either face to face or by staff accessing the e-learning module on the Trust Kite site. There is no distinction on individuals training record to indicate which type of training they have attended. Currently 95% (5980 of 6295) members of staff have completed fire refresher training to date. The Trust mandatory target of 75% is significantly surpassed. Note: The Department of Health has recently reviewed its guidance, emphasising that staff that are in direct care of patients may need to receive face to face instruction more frequently than those who may only be required to evacuate a building on the sounding of the fire alarm. 7
10 Fire safety mandatory training is being evaluated, to determine the future training needs of the organisation and what is required to achieve Department of Health recommendations. Fire Warden The 2013 fire warden training programme has been successfully completed. Currently 151 members of staff have successfully been trained this year. This has significantly increased fire safety provision throughout the Trust and provides departments with dedicated local support. Fire safety training is continuing to develop and improve. 3.8 Unwanted Fire Signals (UWFS) False fire alarms are unwanted, an interruption to business continuity, costly and can compromise patient care. RWH initiated 216 unwanted fire signals during 2013, a reduction of 50 from the same period last year. This still exceeds the maximum number of UWFS considered tolerable (related to acceptable levels of unwanted fire signals and in accordance with HTM 05-03: Part H Reducing Unwanted Fire Signals in Healthcare Premises) for acute hospital premises of this magnitude. Fig 2 indicates the total number of activations each month that have occurred during Fig 3 indicates findings following investigation and analysis into the cause and location of alarm activations. From the data acquired a robust strategy is in place to raise awareness of the consequences of unnecessary fire alarm activations and our statutory duty to reduce them. This strategy includes: Targeted Fire Risk Assessments in areas with a high number of activations Replacement of unsuitable equipment Additional Fire Safety Training Attending meetings Fire Safety Information Bulletins Posters Healthcare Technical Memorandum Part H Reducing unwanted fire signals in healthcare premises recommends a minimum reduction of 10% activations during the next 12 month period. It is anticipated that this hospital will at least achieve this target during Fig 2 8
