Looking for an easy way to remember how to keep your baby safe when they're sleeping?

Here are the “ABCs” of Infant Safe Sleep:

• A - Alone: Your baby should sleep alone in their own crib, bassinet, or play yard. Avoid bed-sharing, and keep the sleep area clear of blankets, pillows, and toys.

• B - Back: Always place your baby on their back to sleep, for both naps and nighttime, for up to their first year.

• C - Crib: Use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm, flat, and fitted mattress.

Today, our staff and the Pittsfield Police Department - Maine trained on setting up a decontamination tent and stations, such as triage and staging area, in the event we have multiple patients exposed to chemicals in an explosion or spill, including emergency personnel who would also be exposed while treating patients at the scene. The exercise also included going over decontamination supplies, safety protocols, and appropriate personal protective equipment; the process to safely remove contaminants from exposed individuals; and walking through different scenarios.

Emergency preparedness is critical for staff to coordinate responses and to improve skills and familiarity with equipment and procedures so that they are not attempting something new during the stress of an emergency.
