What Is OSHPD OSP And How It Can Help

By Karina Frost


We cannot deny the fact that our technology is fast improving. Before, earthquakes cannot be detected until it is too late. Today, there are already a bunch of technologies to help with this detection. By having it detected earlier, preventing it is easier. However, most of us do not know how to prepare those things that is necessary for survival.

Yes, you heard it right. Buildings should be prepared as well. There are organizations that ensure every building being built should withstand an earthquake. By doing this, the people that are in that specific establishment will be safe. OSHPD OSP is one of the programs that will ensure that every hospitals and health establishment can withstand earthquakes. This is vital and this is the reason why most hospitals these days are required to get an OSP certification.

Ensuring that an establishment has the durability is a good thing. However, there are still instances that it may break down, especially if the quake is so powerful. In this posting, we will try to enumerate the things that you need to prepare when this happen.

Water is always an essential thing. Having it is vital in your survivability. Ensure that you have enough water that can last you for several days or so. Having just foods is not enough, because you will eventually suffer from dehydration later on. So, as much as possible bring more water than foods.

Foods might not be too necessary, but packing several of those can still help. Starvation will hinder you from thinking straight, so you better pack some of those things for your consumption. However, do not bring foods that will easily spoil. It is not beneficial to your health and impractical too. Just bring some sandwiches and you are good to go.

You should also bring some flash flights. Most phones these days already have this feature, so this should not be too necessary. However, the good thing about bringing a flash flight is that it can last for several hours compared to a phone. On top of that, the light is brighter as well.

For workers that needs the file they are working to be saved, it is a wise move to bring a USB stick with you all the time. Keep it inserted in your PC so that when the shakes come you can just copy the files to your stick and your done. However, if it takes too long, then waiting for it is impractical.

Most hospitals have a lot of beds, this is a good place to hide from falling debris. If you are a patient, you do not have to run to somewhere else. Just stay under your bed and you will be fine. As much as possible, go directly below, if you can already feel the shakes. Always be calm and do what you have to do.

There are still some other things you can do, however these are the most important ones. Keep in mind that it is always a good decision to be prepared. Knowing these things, you should already have an idea on what you need to do if this happens. You do not have to worry too much as long as the hospital you are in is OSP accredited.
