These guidelines present best practice recommendations for providing emergency care to students in Ohio schools. The guidelines are meant to serve as basic what-to-do-in-an-emergency information for school staff without nursing or medical training or when the school nurse is not available. Sections include how to use the emergency guidelines, when to call emergency medical services, emergency procedures for injury or illness, student injury report form guidelines, planning for students with special health care needs, infection control, and school-safety planning and emergency preparedness. Color-coded flow charts detail procedures for many emergency situations such as injury or illness, school safety, sheltering in place, and hazardous materials. Guidelines are provided for a "to-go" bag containing vital student, staff, and building information; records; emergency procedures; critical health information and first aid supplies; and communication equipment.
