What if there is a fire?
All study staff who will be working on the floor must know the fire plan. This ensures subject safety. It is also a JCAHO requirement.

Disaster Responsibilities
As an employee of Massachusetts General Hospital, you are considered a disaster worker for the city of Boston. In a fire or any other disaster, you must help in any way you can.
In a disaster, you may not leave the hospital until dismissed by your supervisor.

If you see a fire, yell “Code Red” and the room number. Remove all subjects from the room of the fire and close the door.Any employee hearing “Code Red” should pull the nearest fire pull station.If the alarm does not sound, call Security at 6-3333.

First, remove all subjects from the room of the fire. Then, close the doors to all other patient rooms and all corridor doors.
