Good luck. Watch for answers throughout today’s program. We will begin with What are Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM)?
![Page 23: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
INTERIM LIFE SAFETY MEASURES (ILSM)
What are ILSM? – A series of 14 administrative actions provided
by The Joint Commission in the CAMH manual – TJC Standard LS.01.02.01 EP 1-14 – One of two standards in Life Safety that can
jeopardize accreditation severely
![Page 24: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
INTERIM LIFE SAFETY MEASURES (ILSM)
What are ILSM? – Assessment and steps required to temporarily
compensate for Life Safety deficiencies per NFPA® 101 Life Safety Code® (LSC) deficiencies (2000 edition)
![Page 25: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
INTERIM LIFE SAFETY MEASURES (ILSM)
What are ILSM? – A means of maintaining a continuous level of
Life Safety in spite of impairments of Life Safety building features
![Page 26: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Reasons for ILSM
– First understand that Healthcare is a “Defend in Place” occupancy
– Provision of a safe patient care environment relies on the fire safety triangle
Containment
![Page 27: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Reasons for ILSM - Detection
• Smoke Detectors • Heat Detectors • Duct Detectors • Water Flow Switches • Pull Stations • The Fire Alarm System
– Detection – Notification – Control
![Page 28: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Reasons for ILSM - Suppression
• Fire Protection System • Water Based – “Sprinklers” • Kitchen Hood Suppression • Other Gaseous Systems • Portable Fire Extinguishers • Fire Hoses (if in place)
![Page 29: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Reasons for ILSM - Containment
Containment is the concept of using various building components (fire rated walls and doors, smoke barriers, fire rated floor assemblies) to prevent the spread of fire and the products of combustion.
These features help to protect occupants from smoke and fire as well as to provide a safe means of egress to an area of refuge or approved exit.
![Page 30: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Confining the fire/smoke to the: – Room – Smoke Compartment – Floor – Building
The Reasons for ILSM - Containment
![Page 31: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Walls properly installed and sealed at construction joints (especially top of wall)
• Walls maintained to be free of unsealed penetrations
• Walls with all openings properly protected – Doors
• Fire Doors • Smoke Doors • Corridor Doors • Horizontal/vertical fire doors
– Windows – Ductwork (dampers)
The Reasons for ILSM - Containment
![Page 32: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
– If any of these attributes are impaired, the risk to Life Safety is increased
– ILSM evaluates the impact of the impairment and provides an alternate means of maintaining Life Safety

• One of only two standards under Life Safety that can place the organization’s accreditation in jeopardy
• Failure to comply may result in a situational decision process or non-accreditation
• When in doubt, assess

When?
• Prior to construction activities – New Construction – Renovation – Equipment Replacement
• Prior to commencing any project that would negatively impact Life Safety in the facility
![Page 54: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• As a result of Life Safety surveys and inspections or reported deficiencies: – When a Life Safety deficiency is discovered
that cannot be corrected during the same shift in which it was discovered (immediately corrected)
– Conduct the assessment during that shift – Document the assessment and the
conclusion of the assessment
When?
![Page 55: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Managing LS Deficiencies (Brief)
• A deficiency is discovered – Fix it now – no ILSM Assessment Required – Create a Life Safety work order due within 45
days • ILSM Assessment Required
– Create a PFI • ILSM Assessment Required
– Multiple PFIs • Evaluate the cumulative affect of all PFIs combined
– ILSM Assessment Appropriate
![Page 56: SiteFM Interim Life Safety Measures Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/55841ea9d8b42a40018b53be/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The ILSM Policy
• Establishing an ILSM Policy – State who will assess ILSM – State their qualifications (training/experience) – State when ILSM will be assessed – Make assessment process clear (if/then) – Indicate how assessment is documented – Indicate how ILSM activities are documented

THE ILSM PROGRAM

• What the shortcoming is • What the impact of that shortcoming is • How the shortcoming will be compensated for • What their role is
– Conduct training programs – Document completion of training

Documenting ILSM

In Review
• All ILSM Assessments must be documented • Assess the impact of any Life Safety deficiency that
cannot be resolved (corrected) within the same work shift in which it was discovered
• Most Life Safety work orders will required assessment • All PFI’s require ILSM Assessment • Assess for cumulative effect of multiple issues as the
outcome will be different than for the individual issues
