Where can you find information on fire extinguishers for the surgery areas in a medical center?
In "central locations" like nursing stations, information desks and such, there will, in that area, be some kind of signage that shows exit routes. We might also find extinguisher and hose locations in that diagram as well. There are some variations in the requirements for posting emergency information, and it might be that only staff in those areas knows where extinguishers are located. Because variations exist in the layout of medical facilities and in requirements for posting, emergency shut offs for oxygen, vacuum and compressed air might be in areas only the staff are permitted in. And the extinguisher locations might be posted where a patient or visitor cannot see them under normal circumstances. The visitor to a medical center will be best advised to note the "layout" and how to get out if there is an emergency. Noting extinguisher locations might be helpful, but if nothing is posted, an inquiry might be in order. Some facilities instruct staff not to let "non-staffers" use equipments like extinguishers, hoses or the like. Staff will want non-staff to exit an area in an emergency, and will almost certainly be trained to facilitate this as well as to employ an extinguisher if one is needed. The manufacturers of these extinguishers will be happy to supply information on their equipment. For information on what kinds of extinguishers are required in the spaces inquired about, the building codes in effect at the location where the hospital usually have some specifics regarding options. The plant maintenance personnel and/or fire departments there will be more than happy to consult anyone with a legitimate interest in this equipment.
