Exploring the Life Safety Chapter
of The Joint Commission
July 27-28, 2010
Product Code: EDU1023
Health care organizations must be vigilant about fire safety and its threat to patient and staff safety. To ensure fire safety, The Joint Commission requires health care organizations to comply with the Life Safety Code. In fact, an ongoing assessment of compliance with the Life Safety Code is an effective way to identify and minimize risks. This newly developed, two-day seminar will provide you with everything you need to know related to the Life Safety Code and The Joint Commission’s NEW Life Safety Chapter.
Joint Commission Senior Engineer and Standards Interpretation Group leader, George Mills, created this NEW seminar focusing specifically on the content you need to know in order to ensure that your facility is meeting the requirements for full compliance with both the Life Safety Chapter, as well as the Life Safety Code.
This unique opportunity will not only cover the basics for Life Safety foundation, but will additionally delve into the role of the Life Safety Code specialist, the electronic Statement of Conditions, key operational issues addressing policies, procedures and management processes to address the standards and Elements of Performance, and best of all – give you direct access to the experts in the field.
