Friday we successfully tested the Dry Riser with the help of Cornwall Fire Rescue Service. Brilliant partnership working.
All went as planned, working to keep RCHT safe.

Face fitted PPE is only as good as the fit. Remember Fit Check. Every time. No beards or facial stubble. Damp damaged or uncomfortable mask? change it properly. Keep safe and keep others safe. @SafeHealthyRCHT @RCHTWeCare

Without the “back room” crew we are not a team. In it together and all for one and one for all. Stay safe and look after all our brilliant staff @RCHTWeCare @RCHTVoluntarySv @rcht

Fit testing requires a clean shaven face folks.
That means no stubble. Thanks everyone for their patience as they waited for the team to work through the numbers.

Disposing of Lithium button batteries? Please do it properly and safely. Sticky tape over both ends of the battery will prevent a shorting and reduce the fire risk. Then dispose in a designated battery bin. @SafeHealthyRCHT @RCHTWeCare @RchtWellness @rcht

[Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service @CornwallFRS]

We have responded to a number of serious collisions over the past few days resulting in life changing and in one case fatal injuries.

We ask everyone to take extra care when you are driving. Don't take the risk. Always drive to the condition of the road and keep your speed down.

@trainingcfrs @CornwallFRS I only count two? 😳

[Safe & Healthy RCHT @SafeHealthyRCHT]

We have a had a cup placed in a Microwave resulting in a minor incident on a ward.
AND
An injury from another cup that got over heated in a microwave because of the metal in the glaze.

@RchtWellness @RCHTWeCare @SafeHealthyRCHT

[Safe & Healthy RCHT @SafeHealthyRCHT]

"Paper cup" not suitable for microwave use.
Always check that the cup/mug/receptacle/vessel/container is "suitable for microwave use"
otherwise we could have a fire/conflagration/blaze/flames.
sorry I have eaten a thesaurus but the point still stands/holds up...

[Safe & Healthy RCHT @SafeHealthyRCHT]

Please think twice before using your car horn in the Hospital grounds. If someone is startled whilst having a scan then we might have to start all over again. Even the ambulances stop their sirens on site.
