Christi Identified a Safety Issue

During annual OR Fire evacuation education Christi identified that the barriers in the construction area make it difficult for people to evacuate if the fire broke out in the operating room. They would be unable to evacuate straight out to the stairwell. The contractor added a plastic zipper barrier so they can unzip and go through that door and exit during an emergency. This was a great catch and enabled us to put a process in place for the safety of patients and staff. Thanks Christi for identifying this safety hazard for your department.
