October is the beginning of a new quarter at Loma Linda University Health, and that means it’s time for quarterly safety requirements.
Fire extinguisher training
The schedule for fire extinguisher training during fourth quarter is now available.
Hands-on fire extinguisher training is required for each employee every three years. To find out when you are due for this training, email your cost center or employee ID number to ehs@llu.edu.
See the schedule and register here for fire extinguisher training.
For more information, call ext. 14019.
Quarterly safety reports
Each quarter, department heads and/or managers are responsible for identifying safety concerns, initiating correction and documenting them. These audits give departments the opportunity to remain prepared for regulatory agency inspections such as the Joint Commission, CMS, CDPH and the local fire department.
The following reports are due Oct. 23. Both forms can be downloaded below this article.
• Environment of care self-tour form
All hospital and clinical department heads should fill out this form. For more information, contact Preston Brown at ext. 58163 or prbrown@llu.edu.
• Safety inspection checklist
This is for department heads or designees of Loma Linda University and LLU Shared Services. For questions, please contact Jhobanny “Gio” Candray at ext. 58154 or jcandray@llu.edu.
The completed forms are for each department’s records only and are not to be sent to the office of environmental health & safety.
