Safety considerations in the psychiatric setting.
Safety in the psychiatric setting involves many aspects of facility design, renovation, operations, training, and administrative control. Through the application of a systematic hazard-control program, risks may be identified and action taken to reduce or eliminate the potential for accidental or self-inflicted injuries. This paper addresses specific aspects of the hazard-control process and its application at The Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland.
