1. Your name
2. The company's name
3. The address
4. The exact location of the victim on the property
5. The type of injury or illness.

Administer first aid. Have all staff members certified to administer CPR or basic first aid.
Stay with the victim until professional help arrives.

Discovery of Smoke or Fire: Activate the nearest alarm.
Call 911.

Always give:

1. The business address and major cross streets
2. The exact location of the fire in the building
3. Your name and location

If evacuation is necessary: Do not panic. Proceed to the nearest exit. Assist the disabled to an outside area.

If caught in heavy smoke: Crawl because the air nearest the floor has less smoke.
Take short breaths. Cover your nose and mouth with a piece of cloth.

If the exit door is blocked or warm to the touch: Remain where you are.

• Use the phone if possible and call 911. Inform them of your location.
• Try to block smoke from coming in the room using wet cloths, towels or upholstery.
• Once outside, verify that everyone is out, and stay outside.
