Safety Manager's video/DVD training program "Fire Prevention in Healthcare Facilities," looks at how fires start, reviews steps that can be taken to help prevent fires and discusses what employees should do in case of a fire emergency. Among all the safety problems an employee can encounter, fire can be the most frightening.
Every year fires in healthcare facilities cause millions of dollars in damage and result in hundreds of injuries, a number of which are fatal. Yet many employees do not realize how their own actions, or inactions, can contribute to the risk of fire.
The program comes with a comprehensive leader's guide, reproducible scheduling and attendance form, employee quiz, training certificate and training log.
Topics covered in this kit include:
- Common causes of fires in healthcare facilities.
- Preventing fires.
- The concept of "flashpoint".
- "Classes" of fires.
- Fire extinguishers.
- Handling flammable materials.
- Evacuation and other employee responsibilities.
- First aid.
- And more.
