The main hospital building has four primary entrances with open access from 5 am to 9 pm. After this period, all entrances are accessible via card access to employees and authorized contractors and students. Visitors arriving after 9 pm are directed to the Emergency Department, where a security officer is stationed for sign-in. Evolv weapons screening systems are utilized at designated entrances.  All access/exit doors are controlled via door contacts and are part of the Access Control System monitored by Security Staff. The locksmith is responsible for maintaining logs of all keys manufactured for hospital staff. Keys are not given to students. All Life Safety devices such as smoke detectors and emergency exit signs are checked quarterly. Building Services staff records are maintained in the Engineering Department. Engineering service requests related to lighting in parking garages, walkways, and interior of hospital are entered in Sharepoint (Engineering Work Request) and work is completed by the Engineering staff or assigned to a contractor. Security Officers assigned to conduct patrols are responsible for reporting outages to the Engineering Department.

A variety of security awareness programs designed to inform students and/or employees about campus security procedures and practices and to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others are provided each year. All new hospital employees receive a security/safety in-service as part of their orientation to EHC. This orientation is part of a 2-day mandatory orientation. Continued security/safety education is required annually as part of EHC employee evaluation process. Security/safety tips and information are published in the hospital newsletter and intranet. Security Services has a series of classes (Security Awareness Program) that enhance staff awareness to help reduce thefts and losses and provide personal safety advice. There are no crime prevention programs targeted to students on this campus. Only School of Radiology students receive the same training as a new employee.
