Action

In the event that an employee or visitor should become injured or seriously ill in your office area, you should:

1. Call paramedics (911)
2. Give paramedics the following information:
   • Your name and company and the building in which you are located.
   • Floor and/suite number where the medical emergency is located.
3. Do not attempt to move the injured or ill person.  Try to make him/her comfortable.
4. Fire Wardens should meet the emergency unit on your floor or in the lobby in order to direct them to the scene of the accident/illness.
5. Someone should stay with the victim until arrival of paramedics.

Results

1. The paramedics will arrive and administer first aid.
2. If necessary, an ambulance will then take the victim for further assistance.

If you have to dial an outside line first, remember to dial 9 + 911.
