Medical Emergency Safety Plan

Call:
Rescue: 9-1-1
Ambulance: 9-1-1

Keep emergency telephone numbers for ambulances near your phone. If a child or co-worker has a serious medical condition, ensure you keep their personal doctor's phone number readily available.
Know whom in your work area is qualified to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid. If a victim is in shock, cover him or her with a coat or blanket.
Remain calm when someone near you suffers a medical emergency. Do not move victim unless there is danger of further injury.
Speak slowly and calmly when calling for outside emergency help. Explain your location exactly, e.g. 1350 Amador Street, east wing, room 8. Have another person, when available, wait outside the building to escort emergency people to the correct location.Explain the victim's problem--possible heart attack, severed finger, fell down steps and unsure whether to move victim, etc.
If an ambulance is called, someone should ride to the hospital with the ambulance or meet the ambulance at the hospital.
Next of kin or other designated person should be called as soon as possible. Be calm and explain the situation slowly.
