24-hour notification after a plan activation causing injury or death

When an emergency dictates implementation of the plan and results in injury or loss of life, the Department must be notified within 24 hours. This is a reportable-event clock that starts during the response, and the plan should name who owns it.

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The Georgia fire drill log produces the drill record at the frequency this state sets, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.

Everything else we’ve researched about Georgia

Same state, the problems either side of this one. Each carries its own statute and the date we last checked it.

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — Georgia Department of Community Health — Healthcare Facility Regulation and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
