Although the incidence of fires in domestic residences has decreased over the past decade, approximately 40,000 dwelling fires still occur annually. The vast majority of them are accidental and are caused by the misuse of equipment or appliances, and the careless handling of fire or hot substances. Because domiciliary care workers provide care for individuals in their homes, they can have a significant impact on the risk these individuals face from the threat of fire. This course aims to raise awareness about fire safety practices and precautionary measures that domiciliary care workers can take to reduce the risks faced by residents in their homes. This course was developed with subject matter support provided by Chilworth (a DEKRA Company) – Global Experts in Safety and Process Safety.
