Medical Services
Prior to the start of demolition operations, be sure to establish and coordinate procedures for providing prompt medical attention in case of serious injury.
Establish and coordinate procedures for providing prompt medical attention.
- Locate the nearest hospital, infirmary, clinic, or physician as part of the engineering survey.
- Provide the job supervisor with instructions for the most direct route to these facilities.
- Make sure proper equipment for prompt transportation of an injured worker is available at the job site.
- Make sure a communication system to contact any necessary ambulance service is available at the job site. Conspicuously post the telephone numbers of the hospitals, physicians, or ambulances on the job site.
- In the absence of an infirmary, clinic, hospital, or physician that is reasonably accessible in terms of time and distance to the work site, ensure a person who has a valid certificate in first aid training from the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the American Red Cross, or equivalent training is available at the work site to render first aid.
