Life Safety Compliance Manual

The Life Safety Compliance Manual: A Guide to the Joint Commission Standards, is your solution to understanding the accreditor’s life safety chapter and related Life Safety Code® (LSC) compliance.

The Joint Commission’s life safety standards include more than 100 elements of performance for hospitals, and scrutiny of these provisions has led to life safety deficiencies topping the commission’s most-cited standards list.

Author Brad Keyes, CHSP, a safety consultant with The Greeley Company and formerly a life safety specialist for The Joint Commission, wrote this valuable reference to help clear the confusion and help you understand the life safety chapter. The manual provides a detailed outline of the requirements and gives you point-by-point, easy-to-understand descriptions, compliance tips, and tools to get the job done.

The Life Safety Compliance Manual is a comprehensive resource that offers you:

Bonus CD-ROM included with your binder

The companion CD-ROM includes a crosswalk of The Joint Commission's 2008 life safety references in the EC standards and SOC with the current life safety standards, so the changes are crystal clear to help you stay in compliance. You also get completely customizable electronic versions of all the forms and tools provided in the Life Safety Compliance Manual.

A customizable tool that you'll refer to daily

This manual is packaged in a portable 10 x 11 binder, making it easy to snap it open and add your own documents and policies.
