The Facility Guidelines Institute’s (FGI) Guidelines for Design and Construction requires healthcare facilities to develop a safety risk assessment to help protect patients, staff, and visitors, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The Center for Health Design has a free tool to help guide you through the process.
The Safety Risk Assessment (SRA) toolkit was created by The Center for Health Design to guide the process.
The kit was designed to encourage an evidence-based design approach to identify solutions to six safety issues: infection, falls, medication errors, security risks, injuries of behavioral health, and patient handling concerns.
