Mobility Scooter Fire Risk Assessments in Assisted Living

Mobility scooters are a common feature in assisted living and sheltered housing, providing residents with independence and convenience. However, the storage and charging of mobility scooters in communal areas can increase fire risks if not properly managed.

At Fire Risk Assessments London, we provide impartial fire risk assessments that include mobility scooter arrangements. Our reports identify whether storage and charging areas are compliant with the Fire Safety Order 2005 and highlight any actions needed to reduce risks.
