1 ORIGINATOR: Emergency Preparedness Committee APPROVED BY: Medical Advisory Committee Operations Committee ORIGINAL DATE APPROVED: September, 2002 DATE REVISED: April, 2012 DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION: June 27, 2012 Page 1 of 8 POLICY STATEMENT North York General Hospital is committed to protecting patients, families, staff physicians, volunteers and property from hazardous spills. This policy pertains to all sites and buildings associated with North York General Hospital. Employees using hazardous chemicals are required to be trained in safe handling, storage and disposal by their manager in consultation with the Occupational Health and Safety Department. There are different types of spill response kits. They include Universal, Mercury and Acid. They are available in the areas where hazardous chemicals are being used or can be located by calling Occupational Health and Safety and/or Environmental Services. Healthcare workers responding to a code will take care to assess the environment during the response to protect their own health and safety. DEFINITIONS Code Brown: The term used to alert staff to an unmanageable accidental release of a hazardous or potentially hazardous substance or gas. Code Brown Response Team: The groups of individuals that respond to a Code Brown include: Manager of affected department Occupational Health and Safety Specialist (when available) Clinical Team Manager-on Call/ Administrative Coordinator Director-Building Services
2 Manager/Supervisor Environmental Services Security Senior Administrator on Call Page 2 of 8 Emergency Medical Service (EMS): External emergency personnel who will provide additional help in a crisis situation. Health Care Worker: (HCW) is defined as employees, physicians, volunteers, students, medical staff, and contract workers. Incident Manager: Upon notification of a Code Brown, the Charge Person of the affected unit/department is designated as the Incident Manager. Upon the arrival of an individual with more expertise, this role may be transferred to him/her. Manageable Spill: The release of material, which can be contained, cleaned up and disposed of using standard housekeeping procedures. Represents little or no risk to staff, patients, visitors, or property. Is within the scope of knowledge and training for the staff performing the clean up and disposal. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS): Information provided by the manufacturer indicating the hazards and precautions for a substance. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Protective equipment provided for personnel to wear while handling hazardous materials. Radioactive Spills: All spills of radioactive material shall be classified as a Manageable Spill (Minor Spill) unless any of the following conditions are met, in which case it would be defined as an Unmanageable Spill (Major Spill): any personnel contamination; release of a volatile material; and/or more than 100 exemption quantities spilled. Radioactive spills will most likely occur in Nuclear Medicine/Cardiology at either hospital site and each department is equipped with radioactive spill kits.
3 Page 3 of 8 For all Unmanageable Spills notify the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) via locating immediately. The RSO will submit a written report to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Spill Response Kit: There are two types of spills kits Chemical kit : For all types of Chemical spills Mercury spill kit: Solely for mercury spills. Unmanageable Spill: The release of material, which, identified by the worker discovering the spill, cannot be immediately identified. This may represent a clear or immediate hazard to patients, visitors, staff, volunteers and property and requires assistance from the Code Brown Response Team using specialized equipment to control, contain and cleanup. Very Hazardous: Any spill that for reasons of its volume, toxicity, reactivity or any combination of the three is beyond the NYGH Code Brown Response Team s ability to control. The declaration of a spill as very hazardous will be decided by the Incident Manager.
