At Constantia Healthcare we recognise that fire safety is of paramount importance and that we all have a role to play in minimising the risk of fire in our homes.
As part of our commitment to keeping our residents and staff safe, a member of the Constantia team, Kim Jackson underwent training which resulted in her achieving a Level 3 Award in Fire Safety and a Level 3 Award in First Aid.
Kim is now using what she has learned to raise awareness of fire safety within our homes by delivering training for staff.
As a result, staff at our Queen’s Lodge and Lilibet Manor homes have now all received Level 1 Fire Safety and Level 2 Fire Marshal training.
The fire safety training covered the following areas:
* The common causes of fire
* Actions to take in the event of a fire
* Understand how fire risk is controlled in the workplace
The fire marshal training covered the following areas:
* Introduction to fire safety
* The characteristics of fire
* Fire safety legislation
* Assessing and managing risk
Following the success of the training at Queen’s Lodge and Lilibet Manor, Kim will now be delivering it to staff at our homes in Middlesbrough – Roseleigh, Longlands, and Middlesbrough Grange.
