Firecode - fire safety in the NHS

guidance in support of functional provisions for healthcare premises

By: Great Britain: Department of Health: Estates and Facilities Division

This Health Technical Memorandum takes the form of best practice guidance and recommendations. It provides guidance on the design of fire precautions in new healthcare buildings and major extensions to existing healthcare buildings. It supersedes HTM 81 (ISBN 9780113210824), and HTM 85 (ISBN 9780113217335). This publication provides guidance to achieve a satisfactory standard of fire safety, and recognizes the special requirements of fire precautions in the design of healthcare premises and should allow the current statutory regulations to be applied sensibly within a framework of understanding. The guidance in this HTM satisfies all requirements of Part B - Fire Safety of the Building Regulations 2000 (as amended).

Safe management of healthcare waste

environment and sustainability

By: Great Britain: Department of Health: Estates and Facilities Division

This publication provides a framework of best practice guidance on the management of healthcare waste to help healthcare organisations and other producers meet legislative requirements. It replaces the Health Services Advisory Committee guidance document 'Safe disposal of clinical waste' (1999). The guidance has been revised and updated to take account of legislative changes governing waste management, storage, carriage, treatment and disposal, health and safety. Key recommendations include: adopting a new methodology for identifying and classifying infectious and medicinal waste called the 'unified approach'; a revised colour-coded best practice waste segregation and packaging system to promote standardisation across the UK; the use of European Waste Catalogue (EWC) codes for waste documentation; and an offensive/hygiene waste stream to describe non-infectious waste (human hygiene waste and sanitary protection waste such as nappies, incontinence pads etc.).

Bedhead Services

By: Great Britain. Department of Health. Estates and Facilities Division,Great Britain. Department of Health,Stationery Office (Great Britain)

Bed spaces and their environment have a significant impact upon patient experience and delivery of care. With patients able to choose their provider of healthcare service and the increased complexity of clinical techniques and procedures provided at bed spaces, it is now even more important to ensure that bedhead facilities are fit-for-purpose in all respects. This guidance covers the management policy for, operational management of, and design considerations for bedhead services. It applies to the range of engineering services and equipment provided at in-patient areas and bed spaces within healthcare premises. Other systems (such as intruder or personal attack alarms), although not strictly part of a bedhead unit or used at the bed space, are included within the scope of this document by way of their interaction with other bedhead-service systems.

Infection Control in the Built Environment

By: Great Britain. Department of Health. Estates and Facilities Division,Stationery Office (Great Britain)

This HBN supersedes and replaces all versions of Health Facilities Note 30 (HFN30). It discusses the various stages of a capital build project from initial concept through to postproject evaluation and highlights the major infection prevention and control (IPC) issues and risks that need to be addressed at each particular stage to achieve designed-in IPC. The principles of this guidance can be applied to all healthcare facilities, mental health settings are included. The most important points raised by the document are the need: for an awareness of appropriate Health Building Notes and Health Technical Memoranda pertinent to new build or refurbishment projects; for timely, comprehensive and collaborative partnership between all parties to achieve IPC goals specific to each construction project; for all stakeholders to understand the basic principles of 'designed-in' IPC; to understand and assess the risks of infection relating to construction projects and the physical environment; for robust project management in relation to IPC considerations for all new-build and refurbishment projects; for a system of signing-off plans and meeting notes to include all participating parties including the IPC team; for quality control throughout the duration of the construction project; to regularly consult with and update all relevant parties throughout the project; to continually monitor developments.

Firecode

Guidance in Support of Functional Provisions (fire Safety in the Design of Healthcare Premises)

By: Great Britain: Department of Health: Estates and Facilities Division

This is the 2014 edition of Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 05-02 - 'Guidance in support of functional provisions (Fire safety in the design of healthcare premises)'. The document has been revised to reflect changes in legislation, guidance, the structure of the NHS, and government policy and direction on health and social care. HTM 05-02 and the series of which it is part provide specific guidance on fire safety in the design of new healthcare premises and major new extensions to existing healthcare premises. While not intended to cover every possible scenario, the standards and principles it advocates recognise that fire safety in healthcare premises is dependent on the interaction between physical fire precautions, the dependency of the patient, the fire hazards and the availability of sufficient and appropriately trained staff to safely evacuate patients in a fire emergency. The guidance is applicable to all premises regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), irrespective of ownership. HTM 05-02 should allow the current statutory regulations to be applied sensibly within a framework of understanding and if applied correctly, will satisfy all the requirements of Part B of Schedule 1 of the 2010 Building Regulations.

Water Management and Water Efficiency - Best Practice Advice for the Healthcare Sector

By: Great Britain. Department of Health. Estates and Facilities Division,Great Britain. Department of Health,Stationery Office (Great Britain)

During 2002/2003, the NHS in England consumed 40.3 million cubic metres of water and produced 34.4 million cubic metres of sewage. This comes at a cost - not just financial, but at a cost to the environment. Financial savings of up to 20% may be achieved through water-efficiency measures, with little or no cost in investment. This translates to a possible saving of £9.5 million per year. Much of these savings can be immediately realised through minor repairs to existing infrastructure and through staff behaviour, while others may require an initial capital investment that can be recovered within a specified payback period. This Health Technical Memorandum encourages investigating these possible savings. Additionally, it examines water-managementdecisions in the context of: patient health and well-being; social and behavioural aspects; and available and appropriate technology. Methods for auditing facilities are outlined, with common areas of high water use discussed and technical solutions proposed. Guidance on establishing necessary social and behavioural aspects such as staff awareness, appropriate use of technology and a clear definition of responsibilities are also outlined

Emergency Care

Hospital Helipads

By: Great Britain Department of Health Estates and Facilities Division

Since the first helicopter ambulance was established in 1987, the service has expanded to cover most of the UK, complementing the service provided by military and coastguard search and rescue helicopters. Helicopter ambulance operations are likely to increase further. They are considered helpful in achieving pre-hospital call-out and care targets in both cities, where congestion affects road ambulances, and in large countryside areas. This Health Building Note aims to describe the requirements and options for new hospital helipads compliant with regulatory requirements, and provides guidance on their operation and management. It also describes the planning considerations, equipment and personnel requirements, and additional support facilities (such as refuelling).
