Daily check list and work duties

[kwyant1976]

I was wondering what types of daily/ shifts checklist everyone is using, What kind of daily chores are being required by your services. Are u doing a daily check on your drugs ? or some other type of sign off.

At my service we do a truck equipment and safety check list every shift (for me I do two, since supervisors are on a 48hr shift, and they are required every 24 hours), which includes drug exp dates and counts. We also sign out and check narcs at the beginning of every shift from the offgoing crews.
In addition we sweep and mop every day, clean windows from time to time, and generally keep our station habitable and in good shape

Every shift the narcs, bags, cabinets, O2 levels, and truck fluid levels are checked by the incoming crews. I daily check sheet is filled out and kept in a binder. We use a tagging system on our bags and cabinets so we know if it is good to go by the colour of the tag. Once a week every tag is pulled and everything is checked (deep clean) If we break a tag we have to replace the item then retag it by the end of shift with out medic id, the date and the expiry date. I usually break the tag on my airway bag every shift and check it as I have been burned before by someone tagging it without replacing the used supplies. We have 130+ ambulances in our fleet that are all set up the same. We also do a defib check every shift.

we also sweep, mop and clean the station as needed. This is very difficult for some people as they just leave it for others to do or are too busy to do it.

We have an extensive inventory that we complete each 12 hour shift. Each medic signs the narcs that they're responsible for, runs the life pack 15 through a defib and user test and inventories all of the daily used gear in the primary and secondary bags. Every day there is a "daily duty" which may involve inventorying the seldom used equipment like the pediatric bag or the water rescue gear or a specific station cleaning task. We also clean the station each day, vacuum, garbage, mop, do the dishes and put them away… Basic housekeeping. We don't do any facilities maintenance or anything like that.
