Answer to last issue’s hospital safety forensics photo question
In the last Healthcare Safety Leader, we noted the caustic chemicals found in the basement of a hospital by Ernest E. Allen, ARM, CSP, CPHRM, CHFM, a former life safety surveyor and now Life Safety consultant with HealthTechS3, then asked, “What else should be in the basement?”
Whenever you see caustic or corrosive chemicals, remember that there should be an emergency eyewash within 10 seconds travel time or within 55 feet of the materials—or perhaps closer depending on how hazardous the chemicals are.
Problems with the location and maintenance of eyewash stations continue to attract the attention of surveyors.
