Fire Safety and Environmental Safety in Healthcare Facilities

Abstract

Healthcare facilities must provide safe environments for patients, staff, and visitors. Fire safety and environmental safety are core aspects of overall risk management within these settings. This paper examines the main principles of fire prevention, emergency preparedness, and environmental protection in healthcare environments. Through an integrative review of recent literature, it highlights effective practices, regulatory standards, current challenges, and recommendations. The results indicate that systematic safety planning, staff training, and adherence to modern codes significantly reduce hazards and enhance healthcare quality.
