Fire Prevention in Healthcare Facilities

Kitchens, storage closets, nurse stations and patient rooms are common fire hazard sites in hospitals and nursing homes as they are the most trafficked and therefore the most cluttered. Stuffed with combustibles and flammable gases like ethylene, it would be easy for a spark or misplaced cigarette butt to trigger burning here.

This Video On Demand training course accordingly asserts the proper handling and maintenance of these areas will help reduce the risk of fire. Through incident reenactments, the program additionally illustrates the dangers of overloaded circuits and overheated electrical devices in medical centers.

To prevent fire, keep your workspace clean and limit the use of extension cords and adapters. Demonstrate with this online video training how to keep your healthcare facility a safe place for your employees and patients.

This course has been updated to include GHS container labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for GHS compliance.
