Parent Handbook > Accidents & Emergencies
Accident Report Form
An MAB accident report form [Number 4 form] is completed after all emergencies or accidents. A staff member will talk with a parent or guardian about each accident or injury their child experienced in the program. One copy is given to the parents; one copy is kept on file.
 
First Aid Equipment
The main first aid kit at MAB is kept in the office at the Teacher’s Lounge. In addition, each classroom has a small first aid kit. The Administrative Assistant is responsible for keeping the kits supplies at all times, which include the following items: adhesive tape, Band-Aids, compresses. Gauze pads, rolled gauze bandages, disposable latex gloves, instant cold packs, ipecac, scissors, tweezers, and a thermometer.
 
Use of First Aid Supplies
First Aid equipment may be used by MAB staff members trained in emergency first aid by an approved instructor in an FDC&F approved first aid course. Volunteers should not administer first aid. The First Aid kit must be kept out of reach of children at all times. When administering first aid for cuts and abrasions, latex gloves should be worn.
 
Emergency Transportation/Notification of Parents
Emergency Ambulance/Rescue is called at 911. Parents are to be notified of emergencies immediately by telephone. Their work and home numbers are on the student's Face Sheet. When parents cannot be reached, a teacher will accompany the child in the ambulance. A staff person at MAB will continue to try to reach a parent and/or emergency contact designated on the Face Sheet by the parents.
