CORE Quarterly Fire Safety Announcement
Quarterly Fire Safety Announcement July 2009
A wiki is a shared, collaborative space in which information, electronic files, images can be shared. This Pathology 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 and adherence to copyright guidelines. Enjoy! Be creative; be respectful.
Members can upload attachments above.
Once files are attached, they can be linked on the wiki for display and download by others.

Fire Safety
Fire Safety Powerpoint - this powerpoint is used to educate Clinical Pathology and Micro staff. It can be used for quarterly fire safety training for any lab.
If you'd like specific slides with content regarding your lab area included, please email the information to Wendy Voigt - wendy-voigt@uiowa.edu .
Pathology Fire Safety ppt Fire Safety Card
- these cards are provided by UIHC for your reference in the event of a fire.
Staff are often confused about Fire Extinguishers, which is why CAP and JCAHO require that we 'train' our employees to recognize different types of fires and fire extinguishers. The following site has some excellent information that can be used to reinforce the information that is afforded staff by UIHC. You can review the site and copy the link below.
http://www.fireextinguisher.com Note: the 'quiz' at the end of this flash presentation has been disabled, however all information is accurate and valid.
09/09/08 - Please note - UIHC has now added NEW Fire Extinguisher Module with slides and a quiz to the Hospital Wide Compliance ICON course.
This UIHC ICON module will be one of the replacements for what we previously knew as UIHC 'Hands On' Fire Safety. Here is the material that is contained in the UIHC module for your review (click).
All employees are asked to take this course in the next few weeks in order to ensure JCAHO compliance.
- Managers might consider asking NEW EMPLOYEES to take the course as part of their safey orientation.
- The ICON course must be completed on a yearly basis during the performance appraisal.
Quarterly Fire Safety in Pathology will occur in January, April, July, and October (see RM Calendar).
During each one of these months, the Departmental Fire Safety Review Form/Checklist (click to print a copy) will be read at staff meetings, distributed in email or ICON and and initialed by all staff.
A copy of the completed checklist should be sent to the Department's Risk Management Coordinator, C683 GH.
CLINICAL PATHOLOGY can download their checklist for 6RC Quarterly Fire Safety Review by clicking
