Upon encountering a water spill in a hallway, what action should you take?

Contacting Environmental Services upon encountering a water spill in a hallway is the appropriate action because they are trained and equipped to handle such situations safely and effectively. They have the proper tools and protocols to clean up spills quickly, minimizing the risk of accidents or injuries, such as slips and falls, to staff, patients, and visitors. By notifying Environmental Services, you ensure that the spill is addressed in a timely manner and helps maintain a safe environment.

The other actions, such as leaving it for others to clean up, standing by and warning others, or ignoring it, do not effectively resolve the issue and could potentially create hazards for those passing through the area. The priority is always to ensure safety and proper handling of spills to prevent any negative consequences.
