This book and CD-ROM set will show you how to prevent OR fires. It will also guide you in your quest to develop policies and procedures that ensure the safety of patients and staff.

Studies show that there are 100 fires reported annually in the OR environment. What makes this statistic frightening is that these involve fires on or near patients or staff members. Couple this with the fire training requirements from a cast of regulators including OSHA, the NFPA, CMS, and the JCAHO, and you've got a job to do.

You have to address this in your OR safety and risk management program. Learning to prevent surgical fires is the single best way to protect your facility against this threat. This resource gives you the best protection against surgical fires. It gives you a prevention plan. It fully covers all pertinent topics including:

  • Surgical fire prevention programs
  • Risk analysis tools
  • Regulatory requirements
  • How to create and implement your own fire drills

Designed to walk you through fire safety in the surgical environment
Geared towards safety directors, risk management directors, and surgical directors, OR Surgical Fire Training Guide covers all the OR fire safety bases with concise, well-organized, and easy-to-understand information on these key areas:

  • How surgical fires occur
  • Prevention
  • Suppression
  • Communication
  • Training
  • Sample policies and procedures

It includes both forms and policies that you can customize for your own OR fire safety needs. OR Surgical Fire Training Guide includes a CD-ROM with the forms you need to build solid OR fire safety policies and procedures. These forms, which also appear in the book, are easy to customize and put to use in your OR environment right away. Job done.

Who should read this book and take responsibility for adapting its tools, policies and programs to your facility?

  • Clinical managers
  • Quality managers
  • Risk managers
  • Survey coordinators
  • Safety directors
  • Anesthesiology directors
  • OR directors
