Fire Safety & Security

Hello all,

 

Following on from recent safety inspections I am pleased to let you know we have passed the Risk Assessment with a few bits to action.

 

With that in mind please can I remind everyone of the importance of fire safety and security with the following points;

 

  • Fire doors should not be propped open with door wedges, if you feel a door needs to stay open please let me know and we will look at magnetic retainers on these doors.
  • Equipment shouldn’t be stored on corridors or in a stair well.
  • Emergency exits should not be used a regular exits to the building, I have seen the doors in the diner and on the link corridor used for this.
  • Gates to the garden should remain closed from a safety and security perspective.
  • Please ensure if you are allowing access to someone anywhere in the hospice they have an ID badge be it visitor, contractor or volunteer.

 

Your co-operation is much appreciated.

 

If you have any concerns or ideas to ensure the safety and security of our families and yourselves please let me know.

 

Kind regards,

Samantha Lamb
