mergency Management Plan - Issue Date: 04 Nov. 2024, Effective Date: 04 Dec. 2024, Ver.1, Next Revision Date: 04 Dec. 2025 Page 3 of 20 I. Introduction: Veneer Care Emergency Management Plan (EMP) was developed to establish a basic emergency preparedness program to provide a timely, integrated, and coordinated response to a wide range of natural and man-made disasters that may disrupt normal operations and require a pre-planned response. The reason for this approach is to: 1. Provide maximum safety and protection from injury for patients, their families, visitors, and staff. 2. Provide care promptly and efficiently to all persons requiring immediate medical attention in an emergency. 3. Provide a flexible chain of command to enable maximum use of resources. 4. Maintain and restore essential services immediately following an emergency or disaster. 5. Protect clinic property, facilities, and equipment. 6. Comply with regulatory and accreditation requirements. II. Definitions: Emergency is defined as a potential or actual destructive event, which, relative to the resources available, causes many casualties, usually occurring within a short period of time. The Emergency Management Center (EMC) is the control /communication center for all emergencies and is located in the clinic conference room. It is a specially designed and equipped room where designated members of management direct and control emergency response activities. Emergent Evacuation - Imminent circumstances making immediate evacuation essential (e.g., an uncontrolled fire, physical plant, or environmental emergency). Any delay in an evacuation is potentially life-threatening. All alternatives to evacuation have been considered and are not acceptable to Unified Command. Public safety resources (Civil Defense) may play a significant role in initial evacuation activities. Urgent Evacuation - Impending circumstances that potentially render the environment of care unsafe or inhospitable, or that may adversely impact the provision of patient care or ancillary services, where evacuation must commence within four hours to maintain a suitable environment to allow a unit/department to fulfill its mission (e.g., a physical plant, environmental, or mission- critical system problem that is not correctable within a short time frame). Alternatives to evacuation are being executed to obtain more time to effect an orderly evacuation process. Planned Evacuation - Circumstances are anticipated that require relocation of patient care or ancillary service activities within not less than 48 hours, or where ample time exists to inform patients and staff, plan activities, mobilize resources, and control the relocation without extraordinary measures (e.g., a planned alteration in physical plant, environmental, or staffing conditions). This type of evacuation normally will be anticipated several hours to days in advance and will not require extensive public safety resources. Time criteria will allow non-mutual aid ambulance resources to provide the required transport of patients between temporary locations or other facilities and the clinic..

Emergency Management Plan - Issue Date: 04 Nov. 2024, Effective Date: 04 Dec. 2024, Ver.1, Next Revision Date: 04 Dec. 2025 Page 4 of 20 Horizontal Evacuation – and evacuation from an area of danger to the nearest muster point (safe area) on the same floor. The Forward Control Team (FCT) in collaboration with the nurse manager/charge nurse is authorized to give the instructions for Horizontal Evacuation. Vertical Evacuation – and evacuation to the nearest muster point (safe area) on another floor (usually a lower level), or to a safe area outside the facility (usually a location in the facility grounds, although some patients may require removal to another facility). Vertical evacuation is only activated when there is a very serious confirmed threat to life and safety. The Medical Director or his designee is authorized to give the instructions for Vertical Evacuation. III. Policy: It is the intent to adequately prepare, mitigate, respond, and recover from a natural or man-made disaster or other emergencies for the safety of patients, visitors, and staff. The management appreciates all staff in their readiness to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as part of the team to provide the best possible care to patients especially in emergencies. Veneer Care will work in close coordination with the local emergency authorities to ensure a coordinated approach and response to disasters. The EMP is evaluated on an annual or on as needed basis whenever there are revisions in policies and procedures, structural and systems changes that will have an effect on the overall objective. The Quality Management in coordination with the Leadership Committee shall conduct the review and develop the recommendations to the Governance Committee for approval. IV. Scope: Within the context of the plan, a disaster is an emergency that exceeds or threatens to exceed the routine capabilities of the clinic. The plan encompasses the mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery from the effects of emergencies applicable to Veneer Dental Clinic locations, annexes, administrative areas and covers staff and contractors. The development and implementation of this plan are compliant with the relevant sections of the national and international standards and the local regulatory provisions. V. Mitigation: Veneer Dental Clinic implemented initiatives on assessment and hazard mitigation activities to be able to lessen the severity and impact of a potential emergency by identifying potential emergencies (or hazards) that may affect the clinic’s operations. Identification of Hazards and Vulnerabilities A multidisciplinary team is formed and charged to conduct an evaluation of organizational risks based on probability and impact of incidents against mitigation initiatives on an annual basis or at the call of the team whenever is required. Also, it will conduct an environmental safety survey in all its facilities at least on a quarterly basis to be able to rank problems and set priorities for remediation..

Hazards and Vulnerability Mitigation The process is the prevention of harm by data evaluation from the risks assessment and collected data. The following are examples of mitigation initiatives implemented at the clinic: a. environmental safety survey conducted on a scheduled basis b. policies and procedures development and on-going review as needed and/or upon expiry c. structural measures i. construction of protective works or alterations to meet or satisfy technical requirements ii. ongoing retrofitting and repairs per assessment and requirement d. non-structural measures – incorporate preventive aspects into budgets, preparation to provide medical attention during emergencies These initiatives can lower and diminish the level of risks and cost-effective in a way that before an emergency occurs, much more can be saved in terms of losses prevented. VI. Preparedness: Part of the readiness initiative is the formation and identification of the following: Committee / Teams Charges / Roles & Responsibilities SN Committee / Team Charges 1. Emergency Preparedness discussed in leadership Committee Responsible for developing and maintaining a plan, policies, and procedures for a coordinated response to promote the safety of patients, their families, staff, property maintenance, and business continuation. 2. The leader is reviewed on an annual basis or as the need arises depending on the changes in standards, clinic structure, and staffing needs..
