hi i am a nurse and have worked in many hospitals altho i am unsure of your question i will give it a go depending on size of the ward i would suggest ther be at least 2 ports of fire alarms located in each ward ( at the very very least ther will be one near the ';nurses '; station ) i am almost certain ther will be no fire equipment in the ward as this would not be our duty to put out a fire in saying that I'm sure ther are some ward with fire extinguishers as some ward have certain chemicals in them now altho they are ther I'm sure you or i would not be expected to use them as our first priority would be to get our sick patients out if there were to be fire !! most hospital doors will be fire doors fire exits are clearly marked with a green background and they say ';fire exit '; on them fire assembly points are different for each ward so i would double check this one !!! also i dont mean to sound rude but if you are just starting out working in a hospital then the first thing that your ';ward sister'; should have shown you in great detail is all the things that you have asked for if he/she hasn't they are very much in the wrong and you should speak to her/hI'm and ask these questions also well done on asking someone for some advice on health and safety at work not many people no or even care were fire exits are im sure you will be a great asset to your team i hope this helps you x x x x and goodluck x x xCan someone who works in the NHS hospital answer this question?
If you actually want to know, make an FOI request for this information from the hospital itself - it ensures a genuine answer..
Impossible to answer! every hospital is different, not to mention every ward.
