First Aid and Bloodborne Pathogen Administration

FIRST AID AND BLOODBORNE PATHOGEN ADMINISTRATION

Pratt Community College employees should administer first aid only at the level for which they have been prepared through formal training/certification. Bloodborne pathogen precautions as outlined in the college’s Bloodborne Path ogen Plan must be followed whenever exposure to body fluids is a possibility. Students should be instructed to consult their personal health care provider for follow-up care. Used first aid kits and/or used bloodborne pathogen kits should be given to the college health nurse to be restocked.

In event of a serious (life-threatening) illness or injury, 911 should be called immediately to administer emergency treatment and transport to a health care facility.

An Accident, Illness, Incident and Offense Report should be completed immediately following any accident, injury or serious illness involving a PCC student or employee that occurs on the PCC campus. This report should be filed in the office of the Vice President of Finance and Operations.

Both Bio-hazard (BH) and first aid (FA) kits will be supplied by the College Health Nurse to the following areas unless otherwise noted.
