An operating room has many fire risk factors: oxygen-enriched environments, multiple ignition sources, and abundant fuel materials. This customizable fire safety checklist divides prevention measures into logical procedure phases, enabling you to methodically manage these risks at every stage.

The Joint Commission reports that electrosurgical devices account for roughly 70% of surgical fires in the US every year. By implementing this checklist, you create accountability for critical safety measures like ensuring alcohol-based prep solutions are completely dry and maintaining proper ventilation. This practical tool transforms abstract fire safety principles into actionable steps your surgical team can consistently follow.

Frequently asked questions

How does this checklist help prevent the most common causes of operating room fires?

This checklist addresses the three elements of the fire triangle—oxygen, fuel, and ignition sources—by prompting specific preventive actions for each. It ensures alcohol-based prep agents are dry before procedures begin, reminds you to keep ignition sources away from flammable materials, and prompts proper ventilation to control oxygen concentration.

When should you complete each section of the operating room fire safety checklist?

Complete the pre-procedure section before the patient enters the room or during surgical prep. The during-procedure section should be reviewed immediately before the first use of any ignition source. The post-procedure section must be completed before the team leaves the operating room after surgery.

What should you do if you identify a “no” response on the checklist?

Immediately address the issue before proceeding with the surgery. For example, if alcohol-based prep solutions haven’t fully dried, wait until they do. If flammable materials can’t be removed from the field, implement additional precautions like lowering oxygen concentration when possible and ensuring extra vigilance around ignition sources.
