Assist with risk assessments and audits as appropriate 3.9 Fire Safety Committee To meet a requirement for the formation of a Trust Fire Safety Committee (consisting of managers, staff representatives and Fire Safety Advisers), Fire Safety is incorporated into the relevant site Health, Safety and Fire committee. Fire safety will be a standing item on those groups agendas. 4.0 Relevant Fire Safety Policies/Procedures Further information, guidance, fire safety tips is published on the Fire Safety Intranet pages. Printed copies valid only if separately controlled Page 7 of 12

8 5.0 Training Requirements 5.1 Induction Training Basic fire safety procedures must be included in all induction training for new staff at their first attendance at a workplace, whenever there is a change of staff or in the risks in case of fire at a location. They must understand the action required of them in the event of fire, namely: Raise the alarm, inform the main telephone switchboard and request assistance Remove patients (and others) in immediate danger to a place of safety Evacuate the area in accordance with the emergency evacuation plan Close all doors, windows, hatches etc to prevent further spread of fire, smoke and toxic fumes Understand the phasing of fire evacuation procedures Fight the fire, if it is safe to do so with approved appliances (through practical training) Therefore, all new employees to the Trust will receive first day local induction (departmental training) by their managers or deputy irrespective of length of employment Attend the first available Trust Induction course Attend a practical fire-training course (incorporated into Trust induction). 5.2 Refresher/Update Training All staff must undertake theory Fire Safety Training as set out in the model below: Staff Year 1/2 Year 3/4 All staff Competent person lecture E-learning *(see note below) *(see note below) Note If e-learning is accessed in years 1/2 then competent person lecture must be accessed in years 3/4. Therefore e-learning cannot be accessed twice in any 4 year cycle. Additional in-house training can be delivered by fire wardens/ward managers as part of general multi topic updates. However, such training cannot be used as evidence of compliance with statutory fire training requirements (although general updates are still required to be recorded on OLM) Year 3/4 can be replaced with a fire lecture delivered by the competent person if preferred. However (as noted above) E-learning would not be permitted to be used twice in the 4 year cycle The fire training refresher lectures will be available through a series of programmed lectures on all sites presented by the Fire Safety Advisor (or suitable competent person when required), as arranged by Training Department. Printed copies valid only if separately controlled Page 8 of 12

9 5.2.4 Fire wardens training should follow the training model above. However the requirement for a competent person lecture is replaced by a specific fire warden training course (i.e. if you attend a Fire Warden training session this will count as attending a fire safety lecture as well) Practical extinguisher fire training is a statutory requirement and is required to be completed every five years. This five year cycle runs concurrently with the model above. N.B. attendance at a lecture does not constitute as extinguisher training Further practical training should include fire drills/escape walk through exercises. These should be carried out wherever possible in live work areas or on new wards after refurbishment and prior to formal occupation; this will be arranged in conjunction with the Fire safety Advisor in accordance with the annual fire work plan. 5.3 Specific Training Medical staff will receive Fire Safety Training by way of scheduled refresher sessions arranged by the Training Department for Junior Doctors. All new medical staff will be given basic procedure training at the medical staff integration/induction day Managers who are engaging contractors for work will ensure that contractor staff are briefed on fire safety procedures, arson prevention and requirements for incident reporting through implementation of the control of contractors policy The medical staff who participate in the core mandatory training will receive refresher training in accordance with the programme. 6.0 Monitoring Compliance and Effectiveness 6.1 The Directorate of the Medical Director will continuously monitor compliance with this policy on an annual basis and ensure the findings are reported to the Chief Executive as part of the annual fire safety report. Also the Health, Safety and Fire sub Groups will monitor issues in relation to Fire Safety and escalate any identified issues where appropriate to the Trust Governance Committee (or Trust Board). 6.2 Compliance will also be monitored through the review and analysis of incidents and review of fire risk assessments. Quarterly risk assessment reports will be submitted to and considered by the Health, Safety and Fire Committees in order to ensure that the necessary controls are in place. Where actions are identified, these will be communicated to the relevant Directorate/Group and/or incorporated within the annual fire action plan/work programme. 7.0 Arson Prevention 7.1 Arson is the deliberate setting on fire of buildings and other property whatever the motive. NHS statistics show that arson accounts for 29% of all fires in healthcare premises. 7.2 Arson prevention, control and detection must form an essential element of the fight against all crime in all NHS premises. It is paramount that a consistent approach to arson prevention is taken and that it is an integral part of the overall fire safety strategy for Hospitals and other healthcare premises. Printed copies valid only if separately controlled Page 9 of 12

10 7.3 The Health and Fire Safety Advisor is responsible for carrying out the Fire Risk Assessments for all the Trust s workplaces which will include assessing the risks arising from potential arson actions. 7.4 As well as all staff and outside contractors working within the Trust being vigilant to behaviour associated with arson they should ensure that they do not introduce any unnecessary arson risk. Where a risk is introduced, then it should be appropriately managed. 7.5 Factors to consider include: Security arrangements and access control. Fire Containment and Extinguishment. Housekeeping Client group (i.e. groups with learning difficulties or dementia) 7.6 Outside contractors must comply with any fire related conditions contained within their permit to work as statistics show that they are a causal factor for fire starting in a premises. 7.7 To further minimise the risk of arson close down procedures should be followed at the end of each working period and if the department is to be left unoccupied, it is essential to operate checking procedures to include the following: External doors locked with internal doors closed Windows closed and locked No unauthorised people in the department Machines should be switched OFF not put on standby Electrical power sources disconnected as appropriate No flammable liquids left accessible or near possible ignition sources No accumulation of rubbish/waste Security alarms (where fitted) should be ON if building is not occupied Outside illumination should be switched on (where installed) 8.0 Textiles and Furnishings 8.1 Fire statistics show that in terms of unwanted fires in healthcare premises, it is often a textile or textile-based material that is the item first ignited. Textiles are often easy to ignite and burn rapidly (especially in a vertical orientation) unless they are inherently flame-retardant or have been treated with a chemical flame-retardant. Printed copies valid only if separately controlled Page 10 of 12

11 8.2 It is important that the fire loading within healthcare premises is kept to a low level as is practicable as the mobility of patients may be such that the movement of these patients in an emergency fire situation may be difficult to achieve. 8.3 All persons specifying or using textiles and furnishings in the Trust s premises should 8.4 ensure that they only purchase such items through the Procurement Department who will ensure that these comply with relevant regulations. Assistance in this regard should be sought from the Fire Safety Advisors if there is any uncertainty. 9.0 References 9.1 The Health and Safety at Work etc Act The Building Act 1984 (including The Building Regulations). 9.3 The Housing Act Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order Health Technical Memorandum 05-03: Operational Provisions Part F: The prevention and control of arson in NHS healthcare premises 9.7 Hospital Technical Memorandum 05-03: Operational Provisions Part C: Textiles and Furnishings. 9.8 The Furniture & Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended). 9.9 Notwithstanding the statutory obligations, the Trust also recognises the requirement by the Secretary of State for Health under the Community Care Act 1990, of the need to comply with the specialised technical guidance contained in the Firecode documents, memoranda and Fire Practice Notes Definitions 10.1 Line Management Line Managers, including Departmental managers, Operational Matrons, Emergency Bleep Holders, Clinicians and other Officers in Charge also have specific responsibilities for fire safety within the areas of their authority Fire Wardens Fire Wardens should be appointed as the focal point for fire safety issues for local staff. They should act as fire safety eyes and ears within their local area, but not have an enforcing role.
