In the face of an active attacker, staff will be given the Code Silver warning over the hospital intercom system, with the attacker’s last known whereabouts and instructions to exit the facility if safe to do so
Training is underway across the province to prepare hospital staff for a new type of emergency — Code Silver — so they learn to run, hide or even fight in the face of an attacker.
“It’s deeply disturbing that people go into, whether we’re talking about nursery, whether we’re talking about school, whether we’re talking a workplace or a hospital — which is our workplace — with intent to do harm,” said Delorme. “But our role is to make sure that the health system is prepared.” Code Silver for an active attacker is very different from Code White, indicating a patient who may become verbally or physically violent, threatening, aggressive or angry, said Delorme.
“We do know from the evidence that a passive approach will not work and the police say not to be passive.” There’s no prescriptive approach because it will be “situational” and require a series of quick decisions based on risk and immediate surroundings, said Delorme.
