PREVENTING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES  IN THE CLASSROOM LABORATORY AND IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Safety in the Classroom  Equipment use: *check all cords, wires and prongs *don’t use until educated *don’t use when instructor is absent *report any damage seen  Solutions: *never use if not labeled *be aware of danger signs….poison labels/precautions *never mix solutions unless instructor says to *wipe up any spills immediately and put out warning signs if large spill to prevent injury. (Use gloves if harmful) *keep obstacles out of the way…to prevent falls

 Medical Laboratory: *all chemicals labeled and stored *all expiration dates are current *USE BIOHAZARD BAGS/CONTAINERS *to properly dispose of contaminated items… (needles, linens, dressings) Safety in the Classroom, Cont.

Personal Safety Always use correct body mechanics  report any injury or incidents to your supervisor  wash hands between patients, procedures, breaks  wear safety equipment when in contact with body fluids  never recap a needle

Safety Labels

Are used to alert staff /employees of danger and a need for response  Examples:  Fire  Inclement weather  Tornado  Pt out of Control  Hurricane  Cardiac Arrest  Bomb Threat  Intruder/Kidnapping  Sniper Emergency Codes:

 Numbers can be used:  10: bomb  99: cardiac arrest  18 medical emergency  Names can be used:  Adam: child missing/kidnapped  Preemie: Neonatal cardiac arrest  Delta: Internal/External Disaster Examples of Emergency Codes:

 CODE RED: Fire  CODE BLUE: Heart or Respiration Stopping  CODE ORANGE: Hazardous Material Spill or Release  CODE GRAY: Combative Person  CODE SILVER: Person with Weapon/Hostage Situation  AMBER ALERT: Infant and Child Abduction  EXTERNAL TRIAGE: External Disaster  INTERNAL TRIAGE: Internal Emergency  RAPID RESPONSE TEAM: Rapid Response Team  “CODE NAME” CLEAR: To Clear a Code Examples of Emergency Codes:

It is necessary to learn the codes in your work place. Disaster plans for each code have been written and are located in a disaster policy manual in your work area. All employees must know their role in a disaster should one occur.

Patient/Resident Safety:  Do you have an order for the procedure?  Right patient?  Follow all instructions during a procedure- if you don’t know ask!  Know your facilities policies and procedures or at least where to find them. I didn’t know if not an acceptable excuse!  Never perform something on a pt if they refuse! It is their right to refuse.

Patient/Resident Safety:  Before you leave a patient ALWAYS:  Make sure call light is in reach and is working  Bed is in low position  Side rails are up  Phone and other items the pt. may need are in reach  They are comfortable and don’t need repositioning
