Tip of the week: Remind everyone of holiday decoration policies
Healthcare Security Weekly, October 15, 2007
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, and other holidays inspire staff members and patient families to set up decorations, which could result in fire and occupational safety risks.
An annual memo to staff helps Murray Hayward, chief safety officer for University Health Care in Salt Lake City, make it clear how decorations present fire dangers and trip hazards. He supplements the memo with a couple of lighthearted handouts that serve as gentle reminders of hospital policy, including a page of decoration no-nos.
For more information on holiday decoration policies, go to www.hcpro.com/ppv-77327.html. The cost is $10. Briefings on Hospital Safety subscribers received this story with their subscriptions.
