A non-emergency medical event is any situation that does not pose an immediate threat to the injured. When in doubt, treat it as an emergency situation.

• For cases such as minor bumps, bruises, and lacerations that pose no further threat, contact the KTB Student Manager on duty to provide first aid and assistance. The first responder should be certified in First Aid and CPR as established by the American Red Cross.
• All accidents/injuries that occur in the KTB that call for first aid require an Accident Report Form. These forms are located in the paper work drawer of the GA/Ticket Office. Forms can also be found on the L Drive under L:\ARF FRONT DESK\KTB\Front Desk Forms. Upon completion, the white copy is given to the KTB Manager. Time permitting; the form should be filled out immediately after the incident has been effectively handled. In all cases, the form must be submitted before departing after a shift.
• If injuries are not life threatening or serious, advise the individual to go to the nearest Medical Center. If there is doubt, begin the emergency procedure plan.
• First Aid Kits are available at the Front Desk.
• Ice is available in the KTB in the Concession Stand.

In the event of a fire, the Turf Building is monitored by an automatic detection system, supported by a “Pull Alarm” system. When triggered, a repeating horn signal will begin, with strobe-light signals in some sections of the building, and an indication of the problem on the control panel.
