Do you have a medical gas system Operational Policy in place?
Yes: - Well done, but when was it last reviewed and updated?
In 1994 HTM 2022 (Medical Gas Pipeline Systems) stressed the importance of an accurate and regularly audited Operational Policy relating specifically to medical gas pipeline systems. This requirement is repeated in HTM02-01 in 2006.
There are still many healthcare establishments that do not have a current Operational Policy- with some the Policy that has become dated - NOW is the time to consider a review of the Medical Gas Pipeline Systems and an update of the Operational Policy.
The responsibility for the preparation and implementation of the MGPS Operational Policy mainly falls to the Estates/Facilities Department. However, an Operational Policy will require input from and the co-operation of representatives from all disciplines using medical gases and the Authorising Engineer (MGPS). MGPS Services can facilitate the bringing together all the disciplines involved in Medical Gases and provide the support services you may require.
