Extension cords should be used only in an emergency. Use only cords from Plant
Operations, labeled "FOR EMERGENCY USE."
Only the red electrical outlets will work during an electrical outage.
It is very important that
all LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT (example – ventilator) is plugged into a red electrical outlet.
General Fire Safety
Keep combustibles – paper, linens, and clothing--away from heat-producing devices
.
To Prepare for Fire Safety, Know the Location of:
Fire alarms and fire extinguishers in your work area
Medical gases/oxygen shut-off valves
Proper exits for evacuation plan (floor plans posted on units).
Your unit fire zones (the area between two sets of fire doors).
Automatic fire doors will close when the fire alarm is pulled. The metal FIRE ZONE doors
contain both smoke and fire, and provide a longer length of time to save lives.
In addition to the fire doors, all other doors to offices and patient rooms are to be closed for
additional protection and fire/smoke containment. Never block the fire doors or prop open.
