In case of serious injury to an employe Mr. Boenig should be notified at
once, and until Mr. Boenig arrives the Red Cross man assigned to that
department, or the one who happens to be nearest to the scene of the
accident should give the injured person all the assistance possible and
be prepared to assist Mr. Boenig, if necessary, when he assumes charge
of the case. The patient should be taken to the Storeroom as quickly as
possible where he can be kept quiet and better attention given him, and
it will be the duty of the Chief Watchman and the Storeroom attendants to
keep all unauthorized persons out of the Storeroom, except in the case of
a relative of the patient, who will be admitted upon application to the
Chief Watchman. The Chief Watchman will make all necessary arrangements
for taking the patient to the Hospital, if necessary, either by wagon,
shifting engine, or ambulance and in the latter case notify the Master
Mechanic’s office, from which office the ambulance will be called.
In the absence of the Chief Watchman the Watchman on duty will attend to
the above, and in the absence of Mr. Boenig, Mr. Bright will assume his
duties.
No stimulants whatever must be given to the patient unless administered
under the instructions of one of the Red Cross Staff, as such stimulants
are very likely to interfere with the work of the hospital surgeons, or
may cause injury in other ways.
In all cases of injury sufficiently serious to cause a man to go home,
the Chief Watchman should be notified at once through this office, so
that he can get the necessary information for making his report.
For the present all minor injuries, such as cuts and bruises, will be
attended to in a small room which has been fitted up under the Machine
Shop office, where necessary medical supplies and appliances are kept on
hand.
All Foremen will please see that C. T. 75, Accident Report, is made up
promptly in duplicate and sent to this office, for all cases of injury
sufficiently serious for the man to quit work, or in all cases where the
Foremen think the nature of the injury demands it.
H. H. MAXFIELD,
Master Mechanic.
NEW YORK.
