Life Safety Bootcamp
 
More than 4 years ago, CMS adopted the 2012 NFPA Life Safety and Healthcare Facilities Code which established strict expectations regarding inspection, testing and maintenance of the many fire protection features found in long term care facilities. MHCA has partnered with the Maine Fire Marshals’ Office and national emergency preparedness experts All Clear Emergency Management Group to develop an intensive two-day program focused on the requirements of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code for skilled nursing centers. This training is designed for facility leaders & maintenance managers to participate as dyad partners. During this program, participants will develop strategies to understand practical applications of the Life Safety Code and learn from life safety experts on what to prepare for during survey. This training has been tailored specifically for Maine LTC providers and will use real life examples and survey scenarios to explore code changes and the increased inspection, testing and maintenance requirements included in the current life safety survey. In addition, participants will review common violations and be provided with sample policies, procedures, and templated support documents to assist your home in NFPA compliance.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Review new definitions of acceptable testing exercises and documentation necessary to be compliant including most frequent survey findings from across the state.
  • Review how to assess your community's vulnerability to emergency situations and guidance related to risk assessment.
  • Provide best practice education on documentation, policy, procedure, and drills/exercises which will include template compliance documents.
  • Learn how to connect your home to community and government resources during an emergency for planning and response.
  • Participate in a mock tabletop exercise and learn how to successfully identify follow-up action steps and complete compliance documentation.
