Safety for the people who look after everyone else.
Healthcare facilities carry an unusual mix of risk — clinical, chemical, electrical and physical — alongside an obligation to keep operating through any incident.
Safety context in healthcare.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities run continuously, which makes evacuation, fire response and emergency planning materially harder than in an industrial setting. Patients cannot simply be told to leave.
Eduforce brings its first aid and medical training, fire and emergency response programmes, occupational health consultancy and audit capability to bear on healthcare environments.
What this industry has to manage.
Evacuation with dependent occupants
Evacuating a ward is not evacuating an office. Plans and drills have to account for people who cannot move themselves.
Occupational health exposure
Staff face biological, chemical and ergonomic exposure across long shifts.
Fire and electrical risk
Oxygen-enriched areas, dense electrical services and continuous occupancy raise the consequence of a fire.
Emergency medical capability
Non-clinical staff across a facility still benefit from basic and advanced life support competence.
