RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT

Physical Assets Management also deals with risk assessment and management. In this, engineers check all departments of the hospital, looking for potential risks on medical equipment, electronic equipment, arrangement of all materials in wards and other hospital offices. This is to make sure that the hospitals are safe for patients, guardians as well as health workers. Figure below is one good example of safety control /management: Oxygen cylinders chained to the wall.
