Safety Manual

• Follow all training, instructions and directives relative to this policy • Seek clarification whenever there are questions concerning the application of this policy into daily operations.

Procedure In many cases, prompt and knowledgeable treatment of injured employees prevents minor injuries from becoming major. Personnel will be trained in basic first aid and blood borne pathogens exposure. Only these trained individuals will respond to medical problems or medical emergencies. Any employee injured on the job should immediately seek care and report their injury to a supervisor. Treatment and supplies can be administered only by designated, trained personnel. All incidents must be properly documented. If a co-worker is trained as a first responder, it is permissible to provide care using the nearest first aid kit. If untrained or uncomfortable providing care, co-workers should help locate another first responder on the premises. Co-workers may consider assisting the injured employee in getting transportation, seeking help or notifying management. When in doubt, co-workers should contact supervisors, first responders and emergency medical care. First Aid Supplies First aid supplies should be monitored and restocked on a periodic basis. A company designated person will be responsible for choosing types and amounts of first-aid supplies and maintaining those supplies. The supplies will be adequate and will reflect the most common injuries in the facility. First aid cabinets or kits will be maintained in accessible places in all parts of the facility. They will be regularly stocked and monitored to ensure availability in the event of an emergency. Medical Emergency In the event of a medical emergency, the following actions will be taken: • Notify a member of management who will initiate the 911 notification system • Evaluate scene safety – if there is any concern, all personnel should stay at a safedistance away from the scene • Do not move the ill/injured person unless person is in danger from their surroundings • Avoid all contact with blood and other bodily fluids • Never attempt to provide first aid unless you are trained and equipped to do so • A calm employee may stay with the ill/injured person to provide comfort • All uninvolved personnel should clear the area • If there has been any blood or bodily fluid release, trained personnel will clean and sanitize the area after the emergency phase has concluded
