Designated Emergency Number

23%
An important part of any organization's first aid and emergency action plan is to make sure to have communicated and provided documentation at the facility to include appropriate and designated emergency numbers to call and emergency action plan steps.

Any employee or volunteer should have accessible and easy reference to Police, Fire, Ambulance, Poison Control, and the in-house numbers for any medical or safety staff that need to be notified.

Ideally, your communication should include a main contact for any emergency and it should easily allow employees or rescuers to remember any specifics on how to dial out to advanced care or EMS dispatch.
 
TIP: Be sure you keep the emergency contact numbers for your facility in easy to reference places so that these numbers can be easily referenced by anyone at your facility at anytime.
