INTERIM LIFE SAFETY
______________________________________________________________________________
POLICY
1.
It is the policy of this department to establish Interim Life Safety measures (ILSM) to
provide alternate means of achieving equivalent life safety wherever normal means are
compromised by construction or other activities. This policy is not to supercede hospital
specific ILS policies.
PROCEDURES
1.
2.
Wherever a construction project or other activity is deemed by the Director to present a
potential compromise of Life Safety, ILSM procedures will be implemented as follows:
a.
Before construction begins, the on-site construction manager will review the site
with the Director of Safety and Environmental Compliance or the Fire Marshal to
determine what hazards may exist and what preventive ILSM must be taken.
b.
During the course of the project, the construction manager will perform a daily
inspection of the site and complete a checklist. See attachment A.
c.
A record of both the pre-construction plan and the daily inspections will be kept
by the on site construction manager.
In construction areas where there is a potential for spreading dust to a clean area, the
following practices will be observed:
a.
Before the project starts, the on-site construction manager will review the site
with the Director, Safety and Environmental Compliance or the Fire Marshal and
establish appropriate protection measures as needed. Example: barriers, mats and
HVAC routing.
b.
During the course of the project, the construction manager will perform a daily
inspection of the site and complete a check list. See Attachment A.
c.
A final record of both the pre-construction plan and the daily inspections will be
kept in the construction on site office and the Safety and Environmental
Compliance.
