In This Issue:
Ask Yourself: “Can I locate the emergency power receptacles in my area?” All red receptacles designate emergency power. These receptacles will continue to operate even if there is a general power outage in the hospital. Some areas, such as operating and recovery rooms and intensive care units, do not have red receptacles because all receptacles in these areas are emergency powered.
