A Biohazard Event can be anything that includes a blood spill, sewage spill, or clean-up after a medical emergency. When someone comes upon such an event they must:
- Notify the Physical Plant Director immediately at 417.483.8702. Explain the location and what the biohazard event consists of. Do not hang up the phone until the Physical Plant Director hangs up first.
- The Physical Plant Director will notify the proper agencies and explain the information reported.
- The Physical Plant Director will determine if the biohazard event will need additional assistance for clean-up. The Physical Plant Director will notify the proper agencies to administer clean-up.
- The area should be evacuated at once to prevent further contamination as much as possible without putting oneself in immediate danger. Follow fire emergency evacuation procedures when evacuating the building.
- Anyone who may be contaminated by biohazard material is to avoid contact with others and remain in the vicinity.
- Call 911 as necessary.
