Safety training exercise scheduled to take place at Cape Breton Regional Hospital

On Friday, Sept. 27 a mock training exercise will take place on the construction site at the back of Cape Breton Regional Hospital from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The exercise is being organized by the construction management team for the expansions at the Regional Hospital and will involve Cape Breton Regional Municipality Fire Services. The mock training exercise will use a mannequin to simulate a high-angle rescue from one of the tower cranes (Tower Crane A).

Please be advised, there will be additional activity around the tower crane and on the construction site at the time. While no major impacts to traffic, parking, patient, or public safety are expected, please allow extra time when coming to the Regional Hospital, exercise caution and watch for safety crews and signage.

The training exercise is weather dependent. In the event it is postponed, additional information will be shared.

The CBRM Healthcare Redevelopment Project includes building a new Cape Breton Cancer Centre, Energy Centre and Clinical Services Building that will house an emergency department, critical care department, inpatient beds, surgical suites, cardiac catheterization lab, and a family/newborn unit at the Regional Hospital.  For more information about the project, visit Healthcare Infrastructure | Build Nova Scotia | Build Nova Scotia (buildns.ca)
