Proper healthcare facility barrier management requires set protocols, according to an article on the FacilityCare website. Knowing when and where contractors or staff are entering barriers is important in ensuring the code compliance.
There should be a standard for all personnel working with barriers and anyone working with the barriers should be trained on the proper selection and installation of tested assemblies.
Everyone who works above the ceilings or on rated barriers must be issued permits. This will provide the facility with information on who will be doing the work and the scope of the job.
It is also essential to have everyone turn in a completed worksheet describing the type of penetration and UL system used.
