Required Assessments

• Select the applicable assessments required for this project and an email will be sent to the responsible person to complete. If one of the following conditions exist then all 3 assessments will need to be completed:
  
  - The project involves more than routine maintenance or repair.
  - The project involves a Life Safety, Infection Control, and Environment of Care risk.
  - The project has contractors or subcontractors completing the work.
  
  For routine maintenance or repair that is being completed by just the Facilities Management staff the assessments can be tailored to the work being performed. If there is any question a joint decision should be made between the Safety Officer, Life Safety Officer, and Infection COntrol Manager.

Interim Life Safety Measure Assessment/Result

• Is a Life Safety Measure Assessment required?

  Yes

  No

Guidelines for Conducting ILSM Assessments

• 1) The assessment is a product of an ASHE engineer and is designed for use in determining which Life Safety Measures should be implemented based on code deficiencies, construction related issues, or maintenance and testing requirements.
  2) The assessment is used by selecting "Yes" for each deficiency or construction condition and then following the measures indicated below for that deficiency.
  3) If all deficiencies have "No" selected then this identifies that ILSM are not required.
