Fire and Water Safety Records Nursing Homes Should Have Ready for Inspection

The fire safety and legionella records a nursing home should be able to produce on the day of an inspection, as a checklist.

E-bikes, e-scooters, tools and devices all charge at work. The fire risk from lithium batteries and the simple rules that reduce it.

The cold water tank is often where legionella problems start. The checks an assessor makes: lid, screens, insulation, sediment, temperature and size.

Welding, cutting and grinding start fires long after the job ends. How a hot work permit works and what it should cover.

Thermostatic mixing valves prevent scalding but create warm water where legionella can grow. How to manage both risks.

A fire risk assessment only protects people once its actions are done. How to read the report, set priorities, assign owners and close actions out.

A legionella logbook proves your water safety checks are being done. The records to keep, how to lay them out and the gaps found most often.

A PEEP sets out how a person who needs help will get out in a fire. Who needs one, what goes in it and how to keep it working.

Spa pools hold warm, aerated water that suits legionella. The daily checks, cleaning and records hotels, leisure centres and holiday lets need.

Emergency lighting lets people find the way out when the power fails. Where it is needed, how it is tested and what to keep in your records.
