TJC Life Safety and Environment of Care Review Tool

This Joint Commission focused checklist helps hospitals review Life Safety and Environment of Care documentation and practices. It covers fire risk management, fire protection testing and inspection, emergency power systems, medical gas and vacuum systems, fire drills, hazardous materials and waste, and utility system maintenance. The tool aligns with EC and LS standards, references specific elements of performance, and outlines monthly, quarterly, annual, and multi year testing requirements. Use it to verify policies, documentation, training, and building tour items, manage interim life safety measures, and drive continuous improvement in the environment of care.
