Enterprise Care Home Fire Safety Management, Risk Assessment & PEEP Governance SOP

Protect resident life safety, execute annual Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs), mandate 100% Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs), audit weekly alarm call points and magnetic door hold-backs, conduct 6-monthly unannounced day and night fire drills, and maintain 100% CQC and Fire Authority inspection readiness across your care facility with this enterprise-grade Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Specifically engineered for UK care home operators to satisfy the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO 2005), the Fire Safety Act 2021, the Building Safety Act 2022, CQC Regulation 12 (Safe care and treatment - Premises safety), CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance), and UK GDPR requirements.


Key Regulatory & Fire Safety Highlights

  • CQC Single Assessment Framework & FSO 2005 Parity: Establishes auditable fire safety engineering workflows ensuring robust premises protection, compartmentation integrity, and emergency evacuation readiness.
  • 100% Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs): Mandates individual PEEP formulation within 6 hours of resident admission, specifying evacuation gear (ski sheets/evac chairs), staff ratios, and bedroom folder posting.
  • Progressive Horizontal Evacuation (PHE) Protocols: Governs compartmentation strategies, sub-compartment fire barriers (30/60 mins), and staged movement to safe adjacent fire zones.
  • Weekly Fire Alarm & Emergency Lighting Testing: Enforces weekly rotating manual call-point tests, panel response verification, automatic door release checks, and monthly emergency lighting battery audits.
  • 6-Monthly Day & Night Fire Evacuation Drills: Requires realistic unannounced simulated fire drills across all shift patterns to audit staff response times and PEEP accuracy.
  • Data Protection & Confidentiality: Complete UK GDPR Article 9 compliance for secure, role-based encryption of emergency fire grab bag registers and resident PEEP profiles.
