3 MSHA Security Security Officers: What do they do? Security officers work to protect team members, patients, visitors, and property. Security officers also investigate and record on-campus incidents, thefts, disturbances, vandalism, patient and staff accidents, and traffic accidents. Please consult your manager for contact information. ID Badges: Required for Work MSHA name badges should be worn above the waistline at all times and in clear view. If the building is locked down, your badge is your key. Without a badge, security will not permit you to enter the building.

4 Parking Lots Security Tips: - Look around. Be aware of suspicious activities and people. - Call Security or 911 for assistance if you feel threatened. - Security is available at most hospital locations to escort you to your car if needed. - Walk with a co-worker and have your keys in hand to quickly enter your vehicle. - Park only in designated staff lots/spaces. - Check under your car as your approach, and check the back seat before entering. - Lock your valuables in the trunk out of sight.

5 Security at Work Security Tips: - Lock your valuables in your locker, desk drawer, filing cabinet, or office. - Look around. Be aware of suspicious activities and people who don t belong in sensitive areas of the facility. - Call Security (or 911) for assistance if you feel threatened or need assistance.

6 Tobacco-Free Policy Mountain States Health Alliance provides a smoke-free facility for all patients, visitors, and team members. In addition, mechanical / electronic cigarette / cigars or any other devices that simulate the act of tobacco smoking are prohibited. Team members and medical staff who are non-compliant are subject to progressive disciplinary action. Enforcement of this policy is the shared responsibility of ALL MSHA personnel. Please reference MSHA policy EOC for more information. For questions, please contact your immediate supervisor or the facility Human Resources office.

7 Electrical Systems If an electrical system fails, notify engineering. Red outlets are used for essential equipment during electrical systems failure. Critical systems should have power restored within 5 seconds of a power outage. Extension cords, heaters, fans, and other appliances need approval from Engineering prior to use.

8 Oxygen Tanks All oxygen tanks must be stored and transported in approved holders. Oxygen tanks must NEVER be transported using the stairs. Please use the elevators when transporting oxygen tanks. Under NO circumstances are cylinders to be hand carried. Consult your manager for facility-specific instructions on storage and handling of oxygen tanks.

9 Computer Access Computer Security Team member access to the computer system is obtained by a user name and password. All computer user names and passwords are confidential. Sharing of passwords is a violation of confidentiality and can result in disciplinary action or termination. Computer system passwords are required to be changed annually to comply with HIPAA regulations. Computer and Telephone Support Any questions regarding computers or phone systems should be directed to the MSHA Service Desk at , or via mshahelpdesk@msha.com

10 Condition H Condition H is: A national initiative to provide a mechanism for patients and family members to speak up for patient safety. A way to promote communication in the event that the patient or family is unable to get the attention of the healthcare providers. When To Call: If there is a noticeable change in the patient s condition that caregivers are not recognizing or responding to. Emphasis should be placed on notifying the patient s nurse first. How to Call: Dial 4357 (HELP) from any hospital telephone, from outside the hospital. Some facilities have a designated button on the phone.
