Fire Drills and Evacuation Plans

Captions available

The idea

Surgical teams prepare for fire with regular drills and an evacuation plan for both patients and staff.

In practice

The FDA recommends training, and retraining, every member of the surgical team, and making sure everyone knows where the correct extinguishers are kept.

Where people slip

Learn your own facility's plan and alarm codes before your first case, not during an emergency.
