The primary focus of the hospital's Infection Control Risk Assessment and Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM) policy is on fire safety measures and additional equipment. This is vital in ensuring that during construction, renovation, or maintenance activities that impact a hospital environment, the risk of fire hazards is minimized. ILSM policies are designed to identify and mitigate risks associated with life safety, particularly when the normal safety provisions might be compromised.

Implementing fire safety measures includes ensuring that there are adequate fire watch protocols, proper signage, and clear exit routes even when areas are under construction or when certain fire protection systems may not be operational. It prioritizes the safety of both patients and staff in an environment where risks could increase due to ongoing work.

In contrast, options focusing on employee safety training, regular building maintenance, and patient healthcare standards, while all essential, do not center on the immediate concerns regarding life safety in the context of construction or renovation, thus highlighting why the focus on fire safety measures is paramount in the ILSM policy.
