At Phoenix STS, we are dedicated to creating comprehensive and compliant evacuation plan drawings specifically tailored for nursing homes. Our expertise ensures that these plans meet the stringent requirements of the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) and other pertinent regulations, such as the Fire Services Act 1981, Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, and the General Application Regulations 2007. These legislations collectively emphasise the necessity of clear and accessible evacuation plans to fortify the safety protocols in buildings across Ireland, especially in designated care settings for older people.
Importance of Nursing Home Evacuation Plan Drawings
Evacuation plan drawings are crucial not merely as a regulatory formality but as an essential element of any nursing home’s safety strategy. They provide occupants with a swift and precise route out during emergencies, significantly reducing confusion and enhancing the effectiveness of the evacuation process. Our detailed drawings are tailored to each facility’s unique layout and include crucial elements such as internal and external assembly points, final exits, evacuation equipment, and fire-fighting equipment locations.
Our Approach to Evacuation Plan Drawings
At Phoenix STS, we take a meticulous approach to our work. Our process involves a thorough assessment of each site, allowing us to understand its layout and the specific challenges it may present during an emergency. This detailed understanding forms the basis of our evacuation plans, which incorporate primary and secondary means of escape. We pay close attention to progressive horizontal evacuation methods, a vital consideration for nursing homes to ensure resident safety progressively during an evacuation. This level of detail and care is what sets our evacuation plans apart.
