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 |
