(Nov. 22, 2024) – The Office of the State Fire Marshal has developed a tool all health care facilities may use to organize and retain fire safety documentation. During their inspections, they discovered that many facilities either don't keep their documentation in a centralized location or are missing essential records altogether. This new tool aims to address these issues and alleviate some time constraints encountered during inspections for hospital staff and the fire marshal's inspectors. The
Healthcare Fire Book is not a mandatory requirement for maintaining documentation, but it is a tool hospital staff may find helpful. This tool may be found on the KSFM and KHA hospital preparedness web pages.
