A.POLICY
Occasionally, incidents arise as part of the instructional or extracurricular activities of the College that require obtaining emergency medical attention for students attending the College.
B.POLICY GUIDELINES
If the injury or illness requires minor first aid treatment, a first aid kit is available at the following locations on campus:
College Hall Health/Science Hall The Campus Ctr.
If the person at the scene acts in a manner that seems to need emergency medical attention, the injured or ill student will be taken immediately to the emergency room at one of the hospitals.
Genesis Healthcare Systems 2951 North Maple Avenue Zanesville, OH
Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center 1341 Clark Street Cambridge, OH
Call 911 for ambulance services OR Extension 1111 for Campus Security
NOTE: If the student is unconscious or under 18 years of age, a check should be made on the student’s application in the Admissions Office for a signed release and/or person to contact. If the release form is not available, an authorized person of the injured or ill student must be contacted in order to give the hospital verbal authorization for emergency medical treatment. Phone numbers of students can be found on class lists and/or in the Jenzabar system.
In case of any serious injury, illness, or death the parents, spouse, or next of kin of the student must be notified immediately.
A complete report of the injury or illness will be prepared by the College employee(s) present at the incident utilizing the Emergency Incident Report Form and will turn it in to the Admissions Office within 24 hours after the emergency takes place. The Admissions Office will forward a copy of the Emergency Incident Report to the Security Office for any follow up investigation. This action is vital in protecting the employee and the College from future litigation. If an injured person as determined above refuses medical treatment, ensure he/she signs the Medical Assistance Release Form. The incident report should make reference to such refusal and be accompanied by the release form. Both of these forms are available in the Admissions Office and Evening Programs Office.
