Requirement: Contract Title: R.A.C.E and P.A.S.S Training Simulators for VA New Jersey Healthcare System (VANJHCS) Facility: VA New Jersey Healthcare System Address: 385 Tremont Avenue, East Orange, New Jersey 07018 1. Background Healthcare facilities are required to maintain a comprehensive fire safety program to protect patients, staff, and visitors. The Joint Commission s Environment of Care (EC) standards, including EC.02.03.03 and EC.02.03.05, mandate that organizations develop and implement a fire response plan, conduct regular fire drills, and ensure staff competency in fire safety procedures. These standards emphasize that staff must understand and execute critical actions during a fire emergency, such as Rescue, Alarm, Confine, and Extinguish (R.A.C.E.) and proper extinguisher use following the Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep (P.A.S.S.) method. Compliance with these requirements is essential for accreditation and patient safety, as drills and training have been shown to improve staff readiness and response during actual emergencies. The implementation of a dedicated R.A.C.E. and P.A.S.S. training system supports these standards by providing realistic, hands-on instruction that reinforces life safety protocols and ensures adherence to NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and Joint Commission expectations for emergency preparedness. --- 2.
