Surgical Fire Training

NFPA 99 required healthcare fire safety training in facilities to cover the following:

• Hazard Assessments: including a Surgical Fire Risk Assessment and training
• Policies and Procedures when using flammable skin preps
• Emergency Procedures: specific to your operating room / surgical suites
• Orientation and Training: required for new staff and annually for all personnel including physicians and surgeons

Training under actual fire conditions has proven to be the most effective approach in preparing staff and reducing the chance for the loss of life in a real fire. Topics include:

• Fire Prevention: What is causing surgical fires and how do we prevent them?
• Fire Suppression: What are the steps you should take to suppress airway, oral cavity, surgical site and drape fires?
• Fire Plan Review: What are the roles of the surgical team during a fire?
• Evacuation: How do you break down equipment and evacuate if fire/smoke conditions force you from the OR?

We provide training for surgeons, anesthesia providers, nurses and surgical technologists for ORs and procedural areas including:

• Seminars for Grand Rounds or “late-start” days
• Hands-on suppression of fires on surgical patients
