EOC Safety Assessment Monthly Checklist

This EOC Safety Assessment template supports monthly Environment of Care inspections in healthcare facilities. It guides checks across exterior grounds, lighting, signage, walks and drainage, and interior areas including hallways, electrical safety, storage, HVAC, doors, windows, freezers, water temperature, medications and hazardous materials security, appliances, laundry, bathrooms, and general safety. It reinforces compliance with policies for smoking, biohazards, HIPAA, postings, patient rights, and required licenses, and includes food storage checks. Staff readiness is verified on emergency codes, hurricane preparedness, PPE locations, fire safety (RACE and PASS), and work order processes. The template captures findings, recommendations, actions, and follow-up for submission to performance improvement and maintenance workflows.
