Verification required

Do not dispatch a welfare check based on a phone call alone without verifying the requester has a legitimate relationship to the resident. Ask:

  • Relationship to the resident
  • Last contact and reason for concern
  • Known medical conditions

Classification

  • No contact 48h+ with known medical risk → SEV 2
  • No contact 48h+ healthy individual → SEV 3
  • Single missed call, no known risk → SEV 4, gentle follow-up

Procedure

  1. Verify resident registration in the building database
  2. Attempt contact via phone and building intercom
  3. If no response → request management to perform unit welfare check with two-person team
  4. Document all attempts in the incident record
