Our NEBOSH-accredited risk assessors provide a range of services, such as Fire Risk Assessments, Fire Strategy Reports and Health & Safety Risk Assessments, for Care Homes in Hertfordshire.
Azcona Risk Assessors, led by NEBOSH-accredited specialist Maria Azcona, provides tailored fire and health & safety risk assessments along with other services. With over twenty years of hands-on experience, we help businesses stay compliant, protect lives, and avoid costly legal issues with practical, actionable solutions.
Waiting until an issue arises can be costly. Being proactive provides your care home with four key benefits.
Protecting your business against disruption, fines and legal action.
Staff, customers, residents & contractors stay safe in your organisation.
Your business remains operational with minimal disruption.
Insurance claims remain valid in case of an incident.
Failing to meet regulations and best practices can cost you more than just fines—it puts lives at risk and can even lead to care home closures.
The Risks of Non-Compliance:
Many care homes assume they are compliant until an inspection proves otherwise. Neglecting fire and health & safety requirements can have serious consequences, including:
– Fines & Legal Action – Regulatory bodies can impose heavy fines or even prosecute care homes that fail to comply.
– Increased Fire & Safety Risks – Without proper risk assessments workplaces become more hazardous for staff, customers, contractors and visitors.
– Insurance Issues – If your care home isn’t compliant, insurance claims can be rejected, leaving you financially vulnerable.
– Business Disruption – Failing an inspection may force you to shut down temporarily—or permanently—until issues are resolved.
Many care homes don’t realise they have issues until it’s too late. Does your care home have these gaps? We will identify risks and provide practical solutions. Some of the most common gaps we uncover include the following:
You need to ensure that these are carried out annually. Also, if there is a significant change in your care home or the regulations change between assessments, you should have new risk assessments completed.
Inadequate Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) and General Emergency Evacuation Plans (GEEPs) put lives at risk and may not result in compliance with the regulations.
Essential for meeting building regulations, yet often overlooked.
Due diligence for contractors requires RAMS, whether as an employer or contractor and are critical for workplace safety for contractors, staff and the general public.
Many care homes carrying out renovations fail to carry out risk assessments when making changes to buildings and therefore fall foul of building regulations.
