Safety

Fire drills are practiced regularly. If the fire alarm rings, please stay where you are and don’t panic. Hospital staff have certain procedures they follow in the event of a fire. Nursing staff will close all windows and doors as part of their routine procedure when the alarm sounds. When the drill is over, your door will be opened.
Each patient bed has a call bell cord. All patient washrooms have a call button on the wall near the toilet. These are for use by patients or visitors when assistance is required. Side rails may be used during your stay. If side rails are used, call the nurse for help to get up.
