Slips, Trips, & Falls - What You Can Do

To keep our patients, families, staff, and visitors safe, we need your help identifying potential hazards across our main campus and other facilities.

What you can do:

Trash Free

Keep areas free from trash.

Cords off the floor

Keep cords in patient care areas up off the floor. 

Cables Neat

Keep computer cables neatly tied so they do not create a trip hazard.

Report hazards:

Road Hazard Combined

This area at 8th and Terrell was reported and fixed by our facilities team.

 

Event Reporting CookNet

If you notice a hazard such as this, call facilities at 682-885-4026 ext. 54026. Then place an event report using the facilities icon. The date of “event” would be the date you submitted if a fall event did not occur.

If there is an urgent safety need, call the appropriate department to address as soon as possible.

Spill Report

When there is a spill, stay with the spill and contact EVS supervisor via Vocera or operator.

Spill kits are available at each information desk. Simply pull a sheet and lay it over the spill, contact EVS and EVS will respond as soon as possible.

Thank you for all you do to help keep Cook a safe place to work and visit!
