3 Site: St. Joseph s Auxiliary Hospital Approval Level: Cov Health Emergency/Disaster Mgmt Cross Reference: Emergency Response Code Green Document #: ERC 7 Initial Effective Date: June 2017 Revision Effective Date: June 2018 PURPOSE Code Grey is the designated phrase to alert and notify staff of the need to reduce the movement of air into and out of the building when there are air quality concerns, potentially from a release of a toxic or hazardous substance in the environment. Shelter In Place has been demonstrated to be the most effective response during the first few hours of an air quality concern. The Medical Officer of Health (MOH) may request Code Grey based on an analysis of an emergency event, such as fire, motor vehicle crash, train derailment, industrial accident or natural disaster, with a resultant substance release. APPLICABILITY Compliance with this Emergency Response Code is required by all Covenant Health employees, members of the medical and midwifery staffs, students, volunteers, and other persons acting on behalf of Alberta Health Services (including contracted service providers as necessary). This Emergency Response Code does not limit any legal rights to which you may otherwise be entitled. ACTIVATION Code Grey can be initiated by the Site Administration / Administrator On-Call in consultation with the Medical Officer of Health, who immediately is notified of an air quality concern. POST INCIDENT ACTIONS For a facility impacted by an Emergency Response Code Grey, the Site Administration or Administrator On-Call is to: Assess for injuries and facility damage. Implement subsequent emergency response plans as appropriate. Complete Incident Documentation: o Reportable Incident Form (Seniors Health / Continuing Care sites). o Urgent Notification of an Emerging Issue (all other sites). o Other site or zone-specific documentation as appropriate. Advice on document completion may be sought from Emergency/Disaster Management staff on-call ( ) or from the Local Administrator on-call (during evenings and weekends). Reviewed and Approved By Covenant Health Emergency/Disaster Management Page 3 of 5

4 Emergency/Disaster Management on-call staff may also be contacted for assistance in facilitating the post incident debriefing. REFERENCE Corporate Policy I-25 Emergency Disaster Management Response Reviewed and Approved By Covenant Health Emergency/Disaster Management Page 4 of 5
