Fire Safety Training for Caregivers

Prioritising Safety: UtmostCare Staff Complete Fire and Safety Training

At UtmostCare Ltd, the safety and wellbeing of the individuals we support is at the centre of everything we do. Families who trust us with care want reassurance that their loved ones are not only supported with compassion but also kept safe in every situation. That is why we make continuous investment in fire safety training for caregivers across our Supported Living services.

Recently, our team completed a comprehensive Fire and Safety Training, delivered by Firecare 999. The programme was practical and hands-on, designed to strengthen our team’s confidence and ensure full compliance with supported living fire safety UK standards.

What the Training Covered

The training went far beyond theory. Staff engaged in real scenarios and practical exercises, covering:

Emergency Evacuation Chair Training – how to safely assist individuals with limited mobility during evacuations.
Manual Handling Training – protecting both residents and staff from avoidable injuries.
Fire Extinguisher Use – hands-on training in safely operating different extinguishers.
Fire Doors and Resources – understanding the importance of Fire Doors and how to manage them correctly.
Legislation Updates – reviewing current Fire Safety Legislation to maintain full compliance.
Workplace Fire Safety – practical steps to prevent hazards in Supported Living settings.
London Fire Brigade Guidance – learning best practices from one of the UK’s most trusted fire authorities.

Why Fire Safety Training Matters in Supported Living

For residents in Supported Living, feeling safe is just as important as receiving quality personal care. By providing our Care Staff Fire Training in London, UtmostCare ensures:

Staff are confident first responders in an emergency.
Residents and families have peace of mind knowing safety is always prioritised.
Compliance with UK care regulations is consistently maintained.
A culture of preparedness is built into everyday practice.

Building Confidence Through Hands-On Training

One of the most valuable aspects of this training was its interactive nature. Staff didn’t just listen, they practiced. From discharging extinguishers to conducting safe evacuations, our team gained confidence in applying knowledge during high-pressure situations.
