It is important that all staff, including associates, are made aware of the fire risks in the practice and the action to take in the event of a fire, not only for their own safety, but for the safety of patients, visitors, etc, as well.
All staff should receive fire safety training when first employed and this should be refreshed periodically – typically every year – as well as when they are exposed to new or increased risks such as through the introduction of new equipment or a change in role.
Normally, this will simply consist of taking staff through the fire procedures, including making them aware of:
any potential fire hazards and risks
the location of exits and the action they need to take in the event of a fire to ensure staff, customers and visitors evacuate safely
the safe use of fire extinguishers
how to call the fire and rescue service
This course provides the legally necessary online training for staff in dental practices, and also includes how to conduct a fire drill, and an example fire procedures document.
This online training should be supplemented by the individual aspects of your practice’s physical environment.
