https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/28586/locum-accommodation-standards I have just started a new locum position for the summer. I am living above the main practice but working in a branch. The accommodation is basically fine, 1 room with double bed, and a TV and small table with mirror then a bathroom and kitchen justen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160385?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 26 Jun 2015 15:19:20 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8aae8961-c8bf-4f7d-9a8c-d00c3d23692cLyndsay Kennedy<p>Hello,</p> <p></p> <p>From my understanding of Health &amp; Safety I would think that as the accomodation is being provided by the practice, that it should be up to scratch in terms of fire blanket +/- extinguisher and with at least a smoke alarm and fire escape procedures even if there&#39;s not a dedicated fire alarm point in the flat itself.</p> <p></p> <p>A wee internet search produced the following document from HSE, which advises checking with the local Fire and Rescue services or the practice fire officer as to the requirements.</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/law.pdf">http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/law.pdf</a></p> <p></p> <p>Hope that helps :)</p> <p></p> <p>Lyndsay</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160379?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 25 Jun 2015 21:13:24 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:4567128d-404a-404a-bca5-2cd31c10201aSal the 1st<p>I am pretty certain that there is a requirement, most places when I have done a locum with billet have a fire/emergency procedure list on the back of the door detailing fire exits, extinguishers alarms etc -like they would in a hotel. I know (to my cost) that a burglar alarm isn&#39;t obligatory but I am pretty certain that there should be at least a working smoke alarm</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
