Our Tolland office has a first aid team who can assist and respond to emergencies requiring medical attention. First Aiders and/or EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians) may either administer treatment or refer the injured person to a nearby medical facility for treatment. Emergency notification procedures are posted at bulletin boards.

If in doubt, dial 911

Do not drive yourself or other employees to the hospital. In a less serious first aid emergency, call a Gerber First Aid Responder.

Select personnel may be trained in CPR and Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) and may voluntarily assist with emergencies. Employees should become familiar with the location of AED and First Aid stations within the facility. Employees with previous first aid experience who wish to join the first aid team should contact the Director Environmental Health and Safety.
