Understanding Hospital Codes: Code Blue, Red, Black & Pink

• Code Blue: Medical emergency – cardiac arrest requiring immediate CPR.
• Code Red: Fire on premises – emergency evacuation and fire response.
• Code Black: Bomb threat or suspicious package – security protocols.
• Code Pink: Infant/child abduction or safety breach – immediate security lockdown.
• Code Orange: Hazardous spill (chemical, pharmaceutical, bodily fluids) – containment and cleanup.

Codes ensure rapid, coordinated response to emergencies.
