Backup Fuel to Hospital Boilers


Does The Joint Commission have a requirement for providing backup fuel to hospital boilers?  (e.g. Natural gas boiler with fuel oil backup.)
I am not aware of any specific TJC requirement to have backup fuel for hospital boilers. However, there might be a requirement by your state regulations. I would also look at this as a risk assessment issue, reviewing any past history where this might have been an issue, any present or future concerns, and take whatever actions might be appropriate, if necessary.
