Please be advised that a Code Red to Code Green-STAT Evacuation drill is scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 2022 at 2030h. The exercise will be simulated to reflect hospital operations at 0300h, when staffing levels are at their lowest. Mock patients will be evacuated from 3C Neuro. This exercise is required by Fire Code and will be evaluated by internal observers and Thunder Bay Fire and Rescue.

Managers:

1. Circulate this memo and attached documents to staff, including employees without regular access to email, and post the attached drill poster in your unit.
2. Distribute the attached Memo to Patients/Visitors.
3. Ensure that the most up to date policy versions for Code Red (EMER-30) and Code Green (EMER-90), as well as applicable department sub plans, are in your area’s emergency binder.

All staff:

1. Know the location of the fire vest and emergency code binder in your unit.
2. Know the location of the drill/evacuation site.
3. Review the Hospital’s Code Red & Code Green policies, as well as applicable department sub plans, and be aware of any instructions specific to your role and department.

What am I expected to do?

1. Areas that normally operate at 0300h will respond as per Code Red and Code Green policies and relevant sub plans.
2. Upon hearing “Code Green + Location to Location” each unit will send one staff member to the evacuation site to assist, unless the unit’s sub plan indicates otherwise.
3. Staff are to remain in their unit until “Code Green Drill – All Clear” is announced overhead, unless they have been assigned to respond.
4. Staff are to inform patients and visitors that there is a drill in progress.
5. All participating departments are to complete a Code Red eObservation Form.

What happens if a real emergency occurs during the drill?

• To communicate a real Code Red or Code Green during the exercise, the code word (to be stated over any phone/radio/paging system) is: “NO DUFF, NO DUFF + relevant colour code announcement.”
• If the drill must be stopped due to real emergency, Switchboard will immediately announce “Code Red + Green Drill – All Clear” overhead, followed by “NO DUFF, NO DUFF + relevant colour code announcement”.

Thank you for your participation and cooperation. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Mēsha Richard, Lead, Emergency Preparedness (ext. 6552 or mesha.richard@tbh.net)
