"Code Gray Certification"

Does anyone know what a Code Gray Certification is (found within a job posting for a hospital in Oregon). Who/where can this certification come from?

Thanks for your help! =)
no idea. Call their Education dept

Interpretation of color codes varies from one hospital to another -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital_emergency_codesHope this helps

Usually for a psych position calling a code grey means there's a combative person/sitaution.

Code gray, or more commonly code silver, is weapon in facility and lockdown procedures. Is this a facility with a known criminal element in the area? You may be trained on basic self-defense techniques or disabling a threat.

Quote from sharpeimomwhere i worked, that was a code green. what it said in the p&p book was "all available personnel go to ___ stat!"what it really meant was all linebacker-sized men. as the rn, they wanted me to be there, but since i'm 5'4" on tippy-toes, from a practical standpoint, they didn't count as much on me to bring down and subdue large strong young men.

Quote from tyvinI use to work in Oregon but where I am now in psych calling Dr. Strong is the call for all line backers to the rescue. We are certified for take downs by attending a class where I get up and demonstrate the time a 90lb 4'10" little old Filipino lady took me down (I'm 5'10" female) by the throat from behind at night with 2 security guards and an LPN all standing with me detaining this women from tearing the unit apart. Then while I looked at the LPN and said "Have you drawn up the ativan yet?" ... BAAAAAM! I was on my back, on the ground, with this nice little old ladies fingers firmly digging into my throat with a force I can't quite explain.

Yeah, for us code gray usually = dog pile on the rabbit with b-52 inbound.
