Health, Safety, Environmental and Security Policies
In addition to providing standard medical services, we are equally conscious of the need to maintain a safe environment, friendly and secure Hospital premises.
Ponyx Hospitals Ltd Security Policy
It is the policy of Ponyx Hospital Ltd to put in place a registered security outfit in addition to her own security system to ensure the safety and protection of her organizational assets and other persons under her control/responsibilities from identifiable risks regardless of our strategic positioning in the GRA near the Rivers State House of Assembly Quarters that is named 24-hours by security persons.
Pursuant to this, it shall be the responsibility of the security department to:
- Ensure the health, safety and security of all employees, patients and other members of the public who have legitimate reasons to be within the hospital premises
- Be sensitive to the needs and concerns of the community
- Ensure that all identified risks to the organization are documented
- Ensure quick response to any criminal and security incident or other fire/security related emergencies which may have adverse effect on the hospital
- Ensure strict adherence to hospitals access procedures (management approved visiting hours) must be adhered to and observed without compromise.
- Identify all immediate and possible threats to the hospitals (Staff/patient) and the environment and report such intelligence reports to the hospital management
The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event of community disturbances, or in situations when the threat to organizational assets and other persons under the hospital's responsibility becomes unmanageable by the existing security system, the hospital shall liaise with the appropriate Government organizations and obtain relevant permission for the use of the guards accordingly at its own discretion and cost.
