Medical Emergency
In the event of a Medical Emergency, the following procedures should be followed:
- Immediately summon local qualified assistance (CPR or First Aid, as required)
- If outside emergency medical services are required, dial 911. Give them the following information:
- Exact location of victim building address, nearest cross street, floor/room number
- Nature of the emergency
- Victim’s name, general condition and location
- A call back number
- Do not hang up until the emergency operator does so first
- Notify Building Manager. Give the same information as above.
- Station a person at the freight elevator lobby on the floor where the victim is located. They will provide guidance for emergency personnel directly to the victim.
CAUTION: If you are not qualified in proper First Aid procedures or CPR, DO NOT attempt to move the patient or victim unless it is absolutely necessary. CPR and First Aid trainings are both available through the American Red Cross and are recommended.
