Strokes produce many neurological issues. Foot drop is usually a neurological issue caused by damage to the nerves in the leg which can be the initial result of stroke. Weakness of the ankle and foot will cause all of the symptoms to occur. Drop foot after a stroke can be either neurological or muscular damage. The muscle is rarely damaged but can become dysfunctional due to atrophy associated with lack of use and exercise. Tingling of the lower leg and foot can also be present.
Two important chemical hazard labeling systems used in healthcare facilities are the Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMISÂ®) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) NFPA 704 system.
There are many guidelines addressed in the NFPA 70 that make working with electrical hazards safer for employees. Here are some of the main areas of protection addressed: grounding of wires, fire alarm equipment, physical protection, abandoned supply circuits, communications equipment, temperature ratings, special requirements for information technology equipment room, among many other important guidelines.
