MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

Time is extremely important in the case of a medical emergency.  Endeavor Real Estate Group recommends that all tenants keep a first aid kit and emergency supplies available.

 

THE PERSON WHO DISCOVERS THE EMERGENCY SHOULD:
  1. Call 911 or the local emergency number.
  2. Provide the dispatcher with the following information: 
    • Name
    • Type of Medical Emergency
    • Location of Medical Emergency
    • Company Name
    • Physical building address
    • Floor and Suite Number
    • Telephone Number
  3. Listen to the dispatcher for any additional instructions before hanging up. 
  4. Call the management office to report the emergency. The property team will open doors, and hold elevators for the paramedics in order to expedite treatment.

 

NOTE:  It is crucial that the injured person is not moved. Try to keep the injured person comfortable without moving, unless a life-threatening hazard exists.

 

 

FIRST AID/EMERGENCY SUPPLIES

The more supplies you have on hand when an emergency occurs, the better prepared you are to deal with injuries. It is recommended that, at a minimum, you have the following available in your tenant space:

 

  • First aid kit
  • Cell phone
  • Flashlights and fresh batteries
  • Transistor radio
  • Latex gloves for blood borne pathogen protection
  • Heavy gloves in case of broken glass
  • Emergency Analog Telephone to connect to a facsimile line that will operate in the case of a power failure
  • Whistles to get the attention of those around you
  • Walking shoes to help you evacuate quickly
  • Bottled water
  • Light sticks (8 hour)
