How Often Are Evacuation Drills Required?

Under Irish health and safety legislation, commercial premises must carry out a fire evacuation drill at least once per year. Some sectors require more frequent drills — care homes and healthcare premises regulated by HIQA typically require two drills per year, one of which should be unannounced.

Combining Drills with Fire Safety Training

RFC recommend combining evacuation drills with fire safety training for maximum effectiveness. The training covers what staff should do in the event of a fire — and the drill tests whether that training has been understood and retained. RFC can deliver both on the same day, minimising disruption to your business.
