Fire Prevention in Healthcare Facilities

Fire Prevention in Healthcare Facilities Program looks at the fire hazards that can be encountered in healthcare environments, discuss how fires can be prevented, and explain what employees should do in case a fire emergency occurs in their workplace. Every year more than a million fire emergencies are reported in the U.S., with over 5,000 of them taking place in healthcare facilities. They cause injuries, deaths and more than $45 million in damage. The program includes information on how fires burn, the four most common classes of fires, dealing with a fire emergency, patient safety and evacuation procedures, fire hazards in healthcare environments, controlling electrical hazards, and more.
