SAFETY POSTERS
ASIP has a wide variety of safety posters dealing with topics important to the emergency services. Topics such as report writing, backing of ambulances, driving, and blood borne pathogens are covered in a manner which will remind all personnel of the importance of safety.
DRIVER ASSESSMENTS (MOTOR VEHICLE REPORT ANALYSIS)
After an accident has occurred is not the time to find out your driver has a long list of violations, or a suspended or revoked license. The negative publicity could be devastating to your organization. ASIP will obtain motor vehicle reports on all of your drivers and complete an audit of them indicating the drivers who have a history of violations or accidents. If any trends are noted, training in a specific driving area may be recommended.
ON-SITE SAFETY AUDITS
ASIP will send a trained loss control representative to your facilities to survey various parts of the operation including station safety and fire prevention, driving procedures, safety guidelines, alcohol management, and others with an aspect towards risk management.
VEHICLE ACCIDENT CLAIMS GUIDE
ASIP has developed this kit which contains explicit instructions of what to do at the scene, in the event of a vehicle accident. It also includes a form that takes the employee step by step to gather the information necessary to properly handle the resulting claim. The kit comes in an envelope big enough to also hold insurance identification cards and other pertinent vehicle paperwork.
HAZ-MAT POCKET INDEX GUIDES
These plastic, pocket-sized cards are designed to provide important haz-mat information literally at the emergency service worker’s fingertips. They are waterproof and indicate the D.O.T. hazard designations for health, flammability, and reactivity.
ROOF INSPECTION CHECKLIST
A damaged roof could result in a devastating loss to your operations. Water leakage could damage your equipment as well as personal property of your employees, not to mention the possibility of a fire. In the most severe conditions, partial or total collapse could affect your services and profitability. That is why periodic self-inspections of the roof are so important.
ASIP has developed a form to assist you in finding the most dangerous signs of potential roof problems. This simple checklist covers items such as roof covering, drains and roof mounted equipment. Completing this checklist on a regular basis could prevent both minor and devastating losses caused by otherwise unnoticed roof problems.
SAMPLE SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
ASIP can provide your company with a sample sexual harassment policy, which meets existing laws and standards. In addition to the policy, there is also an investigative checklist that should be used when looking into any sexual harassment or discrimination complaints.
ASIP SAMPLE DRIVER SELECTION POLICY
After a company has reviewed the driving records of their employees, it becomes difficult to decide who should be removed from driving duties as a result of a poor record. Through our vast emergency services experience, we here at ASIP, have identified characteristics of drivers who tend to be more at risk for potential accidents. In order to judge every driver equally, your organization may choose to set a policy regarding how to evaluate each driver’s record. This sample policy will assist in that task. You may feel free to encourage you to use it in full, or change it to suit your particular company.
SAMPLE POLICY GUIDELINES
We at ASIP feel strongly that every emergency organization should have clear, concise policies, covering a variety of subjects in order to perform duties in the finest means possible. We also have the opinion that no one knows your organization better than you do. Therefore we have developed guidelines around which you may write your own policies. These guidelines include Emergency Vehicle Driving, Accident Reviews, Health and Safety Program, Statement of Policy for Safety and others. These guidelines are continually updated to coincide with changes in OSHA, NFPA, and other organizations impacting EMS services.
STATION SELF-INSPECTION FORM
Discovering a hazard before it becomes an accident should be the goal of everyone. This checklist form is designed for use on a regular basis by your designated safety officer or manager. The form points out the potential hazardous areas in a typical emergency service organization building as well as the surrounding grounds.
VEHICLE ACCIDENT WORKSHEET
Determining the cause of a vehicle accident is a difficult task when done by persons who do not know that people involved. It becomes even more daunting when the investigator(s) know everyone involved. ASIP has developed a worksheet which may be completed without bias or emotion to provide a truly unbiased determination as to what happened. This is extremely important to prevent recurrence of the incident or a similar one.
SLIP AND FALL CHECKLIST
Slips, trips and falls around your emergency service building happen for a number of reasons; weather conditions, cracked or uneven surfaces, poor lighting, obstructed passageways, and many others. Such falls could injure one of your members, creating a pain and suffering fir that person, the loss of an emergency service worker to the organization, and increased worker compensation costs. If the person falling is not a member, it could result in a lawsuit against the organization. This checklist may be used to regularly inspect areas prone to such incidents to assist in reducing the chances of someone sipping, tripping, or falling in or around your premises.
SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING TEMPLATE
Organization of the safety committee meetings is of utmost importance to see that the duties and functions of that committee are of the highest quality. This template will guide the committee through the task of organizing their meetings and serve as a basis for the meeting minutes. Upon use of the template, all meetings and minutes will be uniform, providing for a more efficient and reliable safety committee, one of the most important tasks in your organization’s health and safety program.
