Introduction
In January 2021 HIQA published the Fire Safety Handbook to assist Registered Providers to develop, implement and sustain an effective fire safety programme. This guidance has a significant impact on the current structures within residential homes, with the requirement for fire safety to become a central focus throughout the service provision.
This podcast is a recording of a webinar we held to help Registered Providers understand the key elements of this handbook. The webinar was presented by Oonagh Gilvarry, Chief Technical Officer at HCI.
