Safe equipment practices help protect our teams and the healthcare environments we support. ๐ฉบ
This month's Safety Matters topic focuses on Carts, Vehicles, Tools, and Equipment Safety. Proper training, inspections, PPE, safe operation, and storage all help reduce hazards throughout our EVS operations.
๐ SEE IT: Understand the safety standards for the equipment you use and report all incidents and near misses immediately.
๐ช OWN IT: Complete required training, follow established procedures, use the appropriate PPE, and remain aware of patients, visitors, caregivers, and teammates around you.
๐ ๏ธ FIX IT: Maintain clean and secure storage areas, properly care for equipment after use, and remove damaged or unsafe equipment from service.
At SMS Healthcare, working safely helps us better support our people and the healthcare facilities that depend on us every day.
