Employees who will be working with certain gases which might conduct elec- tricity wear shoes which co n d u c t electricity. The floors are also conductors. This eliminates any por- sibility of electrical fires. lf a fire should break out at Queeneway, the alarm will ring not only at the hospital but at the fire station itself. A special sys- tem has been SN, up where- by the switchboard oper- ators will know by looking at, an electrical panel exactly when in the building the fire is. They in turn would call the fire department, who would radio ahead to the trucks, which have already departed, where in thtp_hotpital the fire was.

While this practice makes the base- ment of Queensway very colorful. it also senes the very practical purpose of eliminating any mistakes by those working on them. A very vital part of the hospital is the section where air is filtered, washed, humidity treated, and air- conditioned. Mr. Flater said this air goes to "critical areas" of the hospital where it is very important it be free of germs. with the The housekeeping depart- ment is also in charge of cleaning toilet basins, air vents, sinks and windows.

With the aim of informing our readers of the inner workings of their community hospital, this newspaper has run articles on the radiology, pharmacy, Physio- therapy, and laboratory sections of Queensway. Stories on perhaps less glamorous departments such " food services and linen supply were also featured. The last two articles on the engineering and housekeeping departments com- plete this picture. Mr. Livesey said the main- tenance department is con- cerned w i t h "preventive maintenance". There is an- other board which shows the various areas which should be checked regularly to prevent any problems. These would be in the areas of plumbing, electricity and painting. The maintenance depart- ment also takes care of small building jobs such as making cabinets or install- ing shelves. Taken together, the armies show that all the departments working together are necessary to the proper functioning of the whole hospital. The housekeeping depart- ment is part of the hospi- tal's building services. Also under this main department are maintenance (other than engineering), lin e n services, and refuse disposal on the grounds of the hos- pitgl. - Youre “mar ton old for me cirrus so plan an taking your Chl. den to the Clyde Brothers Cirrus.
