Risk Analysis For Checking Smoke Alarms

Post by rebecca_chat » Sun Sep 06, 2015 12:58 am

During staff meeting you are nominated to be part of a team to research and submit a risk analysis for checking the following:
2.Smoke Alarms
a)Name five(5)hazards in an education and care setting or home setting that place children in the high-risk group in relation to fires



b)Name three(3)behaviours that contribute to fire injuries and fatalities



c)Where should smoke alarms be placed in an education and care setting and a home setting and a home setting to ensure everyone’s safety?
 the installation of smoke alarms in buildings in which people sleep.
Property owners are responsible for ensuring smoke alarms are installed
Smoke alarms suitable for installation in homes are either hard-wired to mains power or battery powered.
All smoke alarms need to be checked on a regular basis. If you have installed or are about to install battery powered smoke alarms, we suggest you check, at least twice a year, say at the start and end of daylight saving time, that the batteries and thus the smoke alarms are working. 
It is also recommended that a suitable number of alarms be installed and that the alarms can be heard throughout a large house.


d)What are the recommendations in regards to installation and maintenance in your state/territory?



please check my answers and help me finish other questions, thanks
