ILLNESS/INJURY/FIRST AIDCommon Questions
Common Questions
Q: Do people such as those with informal training such as a Boy Scout have permission to treat those who are injured?
A: No, only those who are currently certified should offer any first aid care.
Common Questions
Q: If no family member is around to provide needed medication, what should staff do?
A: Get 911 involved at this point. It is best not to get involved in a medication situation. EMS should arrive quickly and will be able to make those decisions.
Common Questions
Q: Do all of our security staff have first aid training?
A: Yes, Security staff do have the training or will be receiving the training.
If a staff member is interested in getting first aid training they should first talk to their manager and the manager will contact HR and the security manager.
