Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital Fire Safety Training

Fire Safety Training

In line with applicable regulations and the hospital Facility Management and Safety Program, all Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital employees were trained on fire safety. The training which was conducted by the Facility Management and Safety (FMS) team incorporated both theory and practical sessions on both fire prevention and emergency response to a fire incident.

At the end of the training all employees were able to demonstrate how to use firefighting equipment and more importantly how to take care of themselves, patients and visitors during a fire incident. The training is carried out annually and supported by ongoing fire safety drills that are coordinated by the fire marshals.
