Public Safety
Queens - x5252

supplying as much information as possible about the
situation.
Upon notification of an emergency the nurse will determine from
available information if it appears necessary to call an ambulance.
If an ambulance is to be called, Public Safety will be notified and
will make the request.
If able, the individual will be transported (or walk) to the
Health Service Office for further evaluation and/or care.
If the student needs to go to the hospital (as determined by the
nursing staff) but does not require an ambulance and has no other
mode of transportation, Public Safety will be notified.
Transportation may be arranged at the discretion of the Director or
his designee depending on the nature of the illness or injury.
Transportation by Public Safety to a hospital should be treated as
a request of 'last resort'.
In all cases, as appropriate, family will be notified.
Documentation is recorded on student/employee medical records in
the Health Service Office and the incident is logged by Public
Safety.
If the Health Service Office is not open, Public Safety will
handle the situation.
