Life Safety: Medical Emergencies

General Information

Time is extremely important in the case of a medical emergency. 300 W. Adams Management, LLC recommends that all tenants keep a first aid kit and emergency supplies available.

The person who discovers the emergency should:

  1. Call 911 or the local emergency number.
  2. Provide the dispatcher with the following information:
    • Name
    • Type of Medical Emergency
    • Location of Medical Emergency
    • Company Name
    • Physical building address [not building name]
    • Floor and Suite Number
    • Telephone Number
  3. Listen to the dispatcher for any additional instructions before hanging up.
  4. Call the Office of the Building to report the emergency. The property team will open doors, and hold elevators for the paramedics in order to expedite treatment.

Note: It is crucial that the injured person is not moved. Try to keep the injured person comfortable without moving, unless a life-threatening hazard exists.
