Hyperbaric Safety Stop 1: Ancillary & Support Systems Check & Grounding

In this episode of Hyperbaric Safety Stop we're talking with Derall Garrett, CHT, HC-S*D, and Director of the UHMS Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation Program.

If you're not familiar with Derall, through his work with the Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation program travels globally and he's in and out of clinics around the world, and as a result he sees best and worse practices when it comes to safety and safe practices. So I've asked him to come on with us and give us an actionable tip for this week. We asked him this question, "What is something that you've observed that we could take action on today to improve our safety in the facility?"

Watch today's episode to hear his answer.
