' 6.3 LOCATION OF HOSPITAL/CLINIC <br /> Hospital and Occupational Clinic Location Maps are attached as Figures 1 and 2. <br /> ' 6.4 EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES AND BLOODBORNE <br /> PATHOGEN EXPOSURES <br /> ' 6.4.1 Emergency Medical Treatment <br /> Any person who becomes ill or injured in the Exclusion Zone must be decontaminated to <br /> ' the maximum extent possible. If the injury or illness is minor, full decontamination <br /> should be completed and first aid administered prior to transport. If the patient's <br /> condition is serious, at least partial decontamination should be completed (i.e., complete <br /> ' disrobing of the victim and redressing in clean coveralls or wrapping in a blanket). First <br /> aid should be administered while awaiting an ambulance or paramedics. First aid kits <br /> will have gloves and artificial airways to protect against bloodborne pathogens, and <br /> ' personnel who have come into contact with bodily fluids such as blood or saliva will <br /> immediately confer with the PSC Environmental Health & Safety Director to determine <br /> whether inoculation or other action is necessary. All injuries and illnesses must be <br /> reported immediately to the Project Manager. <br /> Personnel who are transported to a clinic or hospital for treatment should take with them <br /> information on the chemical(s) they have been exposed to at the site. This information is <br /> included in Table 1,Exposure Limits and Recognition Qualities. <br /> ' Any vehicle used to transport contaminated personnel will be treated and cleaned, as <br /> necessary. <br /> 6.4.2 Bloodborne Pathogens <br /> For purposes of this health and safety plan, employees have jobs where required tasks <br /> ' normally do not but could involve exposure to blood, bodily fluids, or tissues--for <br /> example, in the event first aid or CPR is required. If exposure to blood, bodily fluids, or <br /> tissues occurs, Universal Precautions, such as described in the Appendix, should be <br /> ' followed to mini,n;ze the chance of contracting disease and the "Bloodborne Pathogens <br /> Incident Evaluation Form' must be completed and submitted (FORMS section). <br /> ' OSHA required Bloodborne Pathogens Infection Protection Packs are required on-site for <br /> the duration of the project. <br /> 1 <br />
