Project: Emergency Preparedness Plan for Prolase Medispa
Industry: Healthcare & Aesthetic Services
Location: Falls Church, VA 22046
Challenge:
Prolase Medispa, a busy medical aesthetics clinic, had grown rapidly over the past few years but lacked a formal emergency response plan. The facility was exposed to risks related to electrical outages, minor medical emergencies, fire hazards, and client safety incidents. The management sought a tailored emergency preparedness plan that aligned with both OSHA guidelines and healthcare best practices, while also maintaining a calm, professional environment for their clientele.
Our Solution:
Hazards Solutions developed and implemented a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan for the clinic. Our services included:
- Onsite risk assessment focused on patient-facing areas, treatment rooms, and storage of regulated medical products
- Custom emergency response protocols for medical events, fire, utility failure, and evacuation
- Staff training on communication roles, evacuation drills, and use of emergency kits
- Clear signage, exit route mapping, and integration of emergency contacts and resources
Results:
- 100% of staff trained in clinic-specific emergency protocols within 2 weeks
- Cut average response time to simulated incidents by 50% during drills
- Achieved full OSHA readiness ahead of upcoming inspection
- Boosted patient confidence through visible safety improvements and a calm, prepared staff
