UTEP Library Emergency Procedures

A.  Call University Police (5611) or 911.

      Report:

            1. The nature of the problem. If it is a suspected heart problem, say so.

            2. The exact location: (floor, room, or area).

            3. Your name.

            4. Do not hang up until released by the person receiving the call.

            5. Have someone meet the police at the door.

B.  First Aid

1. If possible, get assistance from someone in your area who has taken a first aid training course. If you do not know how to administer first aid, you may do more harm than good.
2. An injured person should not be moved except by trained rescue/medical personnel unless the victim is in danger of further injury or death.

C. Unconscious Person

          1.  Never presume that death has occurred. Call University Police (5611).

          2.  Look for MEDIC ALERT tag with standard physician's symbol. This tag may be located around the arm, the neck, or

               in a wallet. The presence of this tag indicates special medical problems.
