Medical Emergencies
Serious Injury
- Contact Security and request that an ambulance is called. If you dial 999 or 2222 from Zoom (PC or mobile) you will automatically be directed to Security. To contact Security from a mobile phone, dial 01235 778888. Try to phone from a mobile phone if possible so you can stay on the line as Security will be on the phone to the 999 Operator who will have a lot of questions. If a person at the scene dials 999, please ensure Security are informed.
- Ensure you are not endangering yourself as you try to help the casualty.
- Shout for assistance.
- Apply artificial respiration if needed (and if you are competent in the technique).
- Ask someone to retrieve the nearest defibrillator if it is suspected that there is no heartbeat (defibrillator will not shock the person if a heartbeat is detected; they are designed to be used by people with no training).
- If someone is available to help, ask them to stand outside the building and guide paramedics to the correct location.

Reporting a Near Miss / Incident
All Safety, Health and Environmental incidents, including fires and near misses – incidents that have not resulted in injury – must be reported to both Line Management and the Safety Officer, or in the case of those involving radiation, to the Radiation Protection Advisers. All incidents should be reported using the ‘Report Incident’ this portal link, recording the date/time and location of the incident, those involved, and a brief description of the incident. In order to facilitate subsequent investigation it is important that following an incident or accident, equipment, machinery etc., should be left untouched unless by so doing a further hazard would be created.
Staff Working Alone
- Entry into confined spaces
- Working with ladders which cannot be secured and require footing
- Work with certain substances which are hazardous to health
Apparatus left working unattended
If it is necessary for specialist electrical apparatus to be left working unattended, a label indicating the shutdown procedure and who to contact in an emergency should be displayed. Suitable labels can be obtained from the Safety Advisor.
Prior to departing the designated area, it is essential to ensure the proper isolation of any hazardous equipment or materials for safety measures.
