Editor's Notes
- #3: Some common causes of fires in heath care facilities include damaged electrical cords, open flames or hot surfaces, and compressed gas cylinders. Which of these apply to your facility?
- #4: If the building has a fire alarm activate a pull station on your way out of the building. If the building does not have an alarm system, yell a pre-determined signal such as “Code Red” or “Fire” to notify all building occupants that there is a fire. Once outside the building, the police should be called using a cell phone or a blue light emergency phone, located throughout campus.
- #6: The RACE method is located on the Emergency Evacuation Plan and everyone should know this vital information.
- #8: Individuals should be assigned responsibility for checking rooms and closing doors. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS! When out of the building, all members should proceed to designated meeting location. Use a check in sheet to account for patients, visitors, and staff. The Safety Representative for your office or clinic should report to the Police Department and Greenville Fire and Rescue. Remember to wait for clearance to re-enter to building.
- #9: An emergency action plan must be in writing, kept in the workplace, and available to employees for review. It must include: procedures for reporting a fire or other emergency, procedures for emergency evacuation, procedures to be followed by employees who remain to operate critical plant operations before they evacuate, procedures to account for all employees after evacuation, procedures to be followed by employees performing rescue or medical duties, and the name or job title of every employee who may be contacted by employees who need more information about the plan or an explanation of their duties under the plan.
