Time is extremely important in the case of a medical emergency. JL Properties, Inc. recommends that all tenants keep a first aid kit unlocked and fully stocked in their suite. It is the tenant’s responsibility to also make sure that employees are aware of its location.
Procedure
- The person who discovers the emergency dials 911, telling the paramedics:
- Building address
- Your name
- Your company name
- Your floor/suite number
- Your telephone number
- The person who discovers the emergency then calls the management office.
- A Tenant representative, such as a Tenant Floor Warden meets emergency personnel and directs them to the medical emergency.
- Management office recalls an elevator to the ground floor to transport the paramedics to the floor of the medical emergency.
NOTE: It is crucial that the injured person is not moved. Try to keep the injured person comfortable without moving him/her.
