CORE Quarterly Fire Safety Announcement


A wiki is a shared, collaborative space in which information, electronic files, images can be shared.  This Patholgoy Risk Management Wiki is a space for all Pathology staff members to create, view/share, upload, download any laboratory and hospital safety information, questions or comments.  If you don't know or cannot figure out how to post to the wiki, send an email to wendy-voigt@uiowa.edu  or chris-james@uiowa.edu   and we will make sure you are educated in how the wiki works.  It's your space, but the Risk Management Committe will monitor and manage the site to ensure accuracy of information.  Enjoy!  Be creative; be respectful.

Members can upload attachments above.
Once files are attached, they can be displayed on the wiki for display and download by others.

This course will be one of the replacements for what we previously knew as UIHC 'Hands On' Fire Safety.             

EACH EMPLOYEE should take the fire extinguisher course with their yearly performance appraisal trianing, and NEW EMPLOYEES should take the course as part of their safey orientation.

Here is the page that you will see when you hit the Risk Management link on the new Pathology Intranet. Notice in the upper right, there is a link to the Risk Management webpages where we will post videos, etc. We put this buffer page in to provide commonly used links (much like the old intranet site) and to provide
a sustainable page that can easily be maintained by the Pathology web masters. Wendy will continue to make the changes to the web pages designed and requested by Risk Management Committee which might necessitate
frequent uploads such as the safety videos, etc.
