Safety Management Department
The Safety Management Department ensures that NGHA provide a safe and healthy environment by developing creative collaborations among various departments, committees and individuals, ensuring that the healthcare safety risk (pertaining to building, equipment and people) are eliminated, minimized or mitigated.
The safety management department is in the process of defining the mechanisms for interaction and oversight for the six primary functions involved with the Facility Management and Safety (FMS), Joint Commission International (JCI) standards. These functions include Safety & Security, Hazardous Materials and Wastes, Emergency Preparedness, Fire and Life Safety, Medical Equipment, and Utilities Management.
Safety Management provides the concepts and responsibilities for not only meeting the challenge of maintaining compliance and survey readiness for Joint Commission International requirements but also exceeding regulations.
Safety Management wishes from all employees to work safely to protect themselves and others from injury and follow all NGHA Facility Safety Manual instructions, for example:
