Chemical accident in the Asklepios Clinic: three injured in the emergency room!

Heimfeld, Deutschland - A great commitment from the fire brigade today kept the Asklepios Clinic Harburg in suspense. The fire brigade was alerted at 2:55 p.m. after a lovely and caustic liquid in the basement of the Asklepios had escaped medical care center (MVZ). As a result, three employees of the clinic were brought into the emergency room with respiratory and eye irritation. The multitude of fire brigade is currently available, supported by a decontamination train and the environmental guard, to determine the exact type of chemical and to avert further damage, such as Harburg current reported.

The concern for the health of the employees and the safety of the patients is of course great. Such incidents remind us of how important comprehensive security and environmental protection measures are in our clinics. In this context, the Asklepios Clinic is also actively committed to climate protection and has already taken measures to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 ° C, as can be seen on the Asklepios-Website.

environmental protection in healthcare

The healthcare system has enormous resource consumption due to strict legal requirements and high hygiene requirements. Asklepios has therefore undertaken to work more resource -saving and invest in various measures to adjust climate adaptation. This includes, among other things, room air optimizations and an energy -efficient renovation of facades. Because waste management and the efficient use of energy are not only ecologically necessary, but also economically clever.

As the Haufe-Verlag, the production-integrated environmental protection (Pius) is of great importance in the healthcare system. This approach aims to achieve savings in the areas of procurement and disposal and to replace environmental impacts with suitable alternatives. Effective electricity management and the optimization of hygiene processes are further steps to minimize the environmental impact and reduce costs.

Today's situation in the Asklepios Clinic Harburg illustrates how important it is to integrate such strategies into daily practice. Accident prevention and quick reaction measures play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of employees and patients. It is to be hoped that the causes of the chemical eruption will be quickly informed and such incidents can be avoided in the future.
