Use this worksheet to periodically check for reactive maintenance concerns that could be wasting time and energy. Focusing first on squeaky wheels (reactive maintenance) makes your energy program more relevant to the daily work and problems faced by your maintenance team. Get your RCx agent or energy team leader involved in this process, along with your AC supervisor and mechanics.

This report from HKS and Arup, with peer review and collaboration from ASHE walks through design strategies that can help facilities stay operational and safe during a pandemic.

Speaker: Jonathan Hart, Senior Fire Protection Engineer, NFPAThis session provides an overview of NFPA 101: Life Safety Code®. The overview includes how to generally navigate the code, where to find specific issues, and how the sections are applicable once found. Topics covered include occupancy classification, components of the means of egress, doors, suites, interior finish, and more. Other NFPA codes and standards applicable to health care facility managers will be referenced.Learning Outcomes:

  Per the FDA, the draft guidance is intended to help clarify whether activities performed on devices are likely "remanufacturing." Such clarification is intended to help provide consistency and better understanding of applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The draft guidance also provides recommendations for information that should be included in labeling to help assure the continued quality, safety and effectiveness of devices that are intended to be serviced over their useful life.

From common pre-planning challenges like ICRA collaboration to challenges which often emerge within the first weeks of a project, such as dust and debris containment and ILSM adherence, our panelists will offer actionable advice,

Support your efforts to strengthen your energy procurement and resiliency policies and finance your sustainability projects.

The intent of this document is to give hospital facility managers a broad overview of historical and current smoke control systems they are likely to encounter in typical hospital facilities.

An overview of safety considerations for contractors and electricians working in health care facilities.

A step-by-step guide for developing a comprehensive integrated fire protection and life safety inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM) program for health care facilities. This timely publication will support facilities managers ahead of CMS’s adoption of NFPA 101-2018 (or later), which will require integrated life safety ITM for all high-rise buildings.

Best practices for financing energy sustainability are described with an emphasis on helping hospitals and associated decision-makers – including professionals from supply chain, facilities, finance, sustainability, and public health – navigate the challenges associated with investing in the carbon reduction goals that health care is being asked to implement.
