Alverstoke House Nursing Home

Overview

Alverstoke House Nursing Home was originally part of the National Children’s Home site off Clayton Road in Alverstoke, near Gosport in Hampshire. Alverstoke House Nursing Home first opened in 1985 as two buildings; one offering residential care and the other nursing care. The two buildings were later joined together and extended to create one purpose built caring home.

Benfield Fire Safety provides an annual risk assessment, with subsequent reviews to ensure compliance with fire safety law. Fire safety awareness training takes place regularly and includes three scheduled sessions; two for the day-shift and one for the night-shift.

Outdoor

The real thing … practice with our real live flame simulator

Controlled and supervised by our experienced instructors, this is real practice at putting out a real fire.

We simply need at your workspace:

  • A designated outdoor, level space which is away from cars and which has access to power within 45m.
  • Please ensure that our instructor can drive a vehicle near to the area you have designated (to enable set up of fire equipment).
  • In case of unfavourable weather, we can revert to an indoor digital rig to avoid any need to cancel.
  • If you do not have any suitable outdoor space available, we can use our indoor digital rig.

Indoor

Practice your strategy whilst being eco friendly!

Our digital simulator with smoke goggle enhancement requires your staff to practice the correct choice of extinguisher and the correct extinguishing technique to extinguish the flame successfully. Feedback from our instructor will help your staff to make decisions and dynamically assess the situation. It is a chance for your staff to practice the full sequence of door checks before entering a room, keeping themselves safe by protecting their eyes and closing doors behind them.

A great way to empower your staff to know what to do in their own workplace, and suitable for training whatever the weather!

We simply need at your workplace:

  • A designated space to set up a simulated fire (such as a bin fire or a computer fire).
