S.O.G. #004

Resuscitation Procedures 5/27/00 revised 2007

Purpose

To describe the procedures for the use of a bag-valve-mask resuscitator during emergency resuscitation

procedures.

Preface

Emergency resuscitation is more effective if administered by a coordinated team of personnel, rather

than by one or two individuals.

Procedures

A. Position the victim on a firm flat surface (backboard). If the victim is on a slope, position the victim

so that the head is lower than the rest of the body.

B. One staff member checks Airway, Breathing & Circulation while another locates hand placement to

begin CPR.

C. Other staff is activating EAP by calling EMS, bringing the main First Aid Kit, BVM, Oxygen and

AED if needed and maintaining crowd control (including clearing the water),

D. Rescue breathing is performed with a pocket mask until BVM and oxygen arrives. CPR is more

effective if 1 person performs chest compressions, 1 holds mask in place with proper airway technique,

and 1 person operates the bag.

E. When a suction device is added to the safety equipment for the beach, a fourth team member can

suction fluids away between respirations. Training are provided for the suction device and S.O.G. #011

tells how to use it.

F. If there is a limited number of staff available for this procedure, assign by-standers crowd control

and notifying EMS duties. One person starts assessment while another gets the First Aid Kit if needed.

They will perform 2 rescuer CPR as they have been trained. The ventilator can also suction between

breaths. Training is provided with suction equipment.

G. Rescue Breathing and/or CPR (AED use as indicated by unit) is continued until EMS personnel

arrive or the victim no longer needs that care. The victim will be closely monitored until EMS arrives.

H. Incident reports and witness statements need to be completed immediately.

I. Re-open facility if all necessary equipment is available and personnel are ready to continue.

S.O.G. #005

Spinal Injury Management and Backboarding Procedures 5/2/97 revised 2007

Purpose

To describe Spinal Injury Management and Backboarding Procedures that is recommended by the Budd Lake

First Aid and Rescue Squad

Preface

Although the American Red Cross has tried to simplify spinal injury management procedures in their Lifeguard

Training program, those changes do not meet current EMS requirements. EMS cannot transport a victim who has

been backboarded and head immobilized without a cervical collar. They would have to completely unstrap the

victim, remove the victim from the backboard, place on a collar and then re-backboard and immobilize the victim.

The goal for spinal injury management is to reduce secondary trauma caused by movement of the head, neck or

spine during emergency procedures. In-service training with the Budd Lake First Aid and Rescue Squad has

established the techniques and procedures EMS needs implemented to best aid the victim.

Procedures

A. Activate EAP for Spinal Injury

B. For a victim in the water,

1st guard will enter the water, turn victim face up (if needed) using appropriate technique.

o (Head/Chin support or Head Splint) and checks for consciousness, breathing & pulse

If there is no breathing, a lifeguard is to begin rescue breathing using the modified jaw thrust while the

others are providing in-line stabilization and strapping quickly.

If there is no breathing and no pulse, put the victim on the board and begin rescue breathing as stated above,

secure with one or two straps and then remove from the water and begin CPR.

If there is breathing and a pulse, the 2nd guard will bring backboard and collars, and thermal blanket, and 2-

4 people (staff or bystanders) to help support the backboard

2nd guard sinks backboard and places under the victim. Helpers control & support the board.

2nd guard takes over in line stabilization, while 1st guard fastens cervical collar on victim.

Guards check victim placement on the backboard. If the victim needs to change position on the board, the

helpers sink the board & reposition, while 2nd guard NEVER loses in-line stabilization.

As first guard begins strapping, 2nd guard begins secondary survey and has bystander record information for

EMS. Secondary will check victim’s pulse periodically, by placing 2 fingers in opening of collar, or having a

staff member do it. In-line stabilization must be maintained.

Straps must be tight enough to prevent any lateral or vertical movement. Strap order: across the chest under

the armpits, diagonals crossing the chest, (from over shoulder to underarm/ ribcage area), hips (straight

across bony part), thighs (not on knee joint), lower legs (not on ankle joint or extended foot), Hands are to

be restrained by the wrist Velcro cuff outside of the regular strapping.

S.O.G. #005, continued

Spinal Injury Management and Backboarding Procedures

A thermal blanket, if needed, may placed over victim as straps are secured.

1st Guard checks straps securement, makes any final adjustments.

1st Guard secures head immobilizer properly, coordinating effort with the 2nd guard who continues to

provide in-line stabilization.

1st guard gives coordinated commands to remove victim from the water to EMS personnel waiting on

the beach.

The victim’s care is transferred to EMS. Receive a replacement backboard & collar from EMS

before they depart.

Get the back-up backboard ready.

Complete reports and witness statements immediately.

Re-open facility if all necessary equipment is available and personnel are ready to continue.

o For Extreme Shallow Water Spinal injury, follow Waterfront Lifeguarding training,

maintaining in-line stabilization (turn victim face up if needed – Head Splint). EMS

should be able to enter a few inches of water to complete backboarding.

B. If victim is not in the water:

Guard activates EAP while providing in-line stabilization.

2nd guard establishes crowd control, (including notifying EMS) and brings first aid kit, collars, thermal

blanket.

If victim is vertical, 2nd guard place cervical collar on victim. 1st guard maintains in-line stabilization.

2nd guard begins secondary assessment for EMS.

If victim is horizontal, check for consciousness and breathing. If the victim is conscious, keep the

victim calm and still until EMS arrives, providing in-line stabilization.

If the victim is unconscious and needs to be rolled onto his/her back to further check for breathing, roll

the victim gently onto back, supporting the head, maintaining in-line stabilization. (Modified

H.A.I.N.E.S. position)

If the victim’s airway needs to be opened, use modified jaw thrust.

Give rescue breathing if necessary with pocket mask, BVM or oxygen.

Give CPR if necessary, continuing to use modified jaw thrust to keep the airway open.

The victim’s care is transferred to EMS. Receive a replacement backboard & collar from EMS before

they depart.

Complete reports and witness statements immediately.

Re-open facility if all necessary equipment is available and personnel are ready to continue.

S.O.G. #006

Emergency Procedures During Thunder & Lightning Storms 5/2/97 revised 2006, 2014

Purpose

To describe the procedures to be followed when the threat of a thunder or lightning storm is present.

Preface

Thunder occurs as a result of lightning. If thunder can be heard, then the presence of lightning is an

immediate threat, even though it may not be observed. According to the National Weather Service, a

thunderstorm is considered “has ended” when there has been no sounding of thunder, or sighting of

lightning within the last 15 minutes (30 minutes may be more prudent) and the sky is no longer dark

and “threatening”. Unless there are evident signs of clearing, the storm should not be considered “has

ended”.

Clearing the Facility

All patrons and facility staff should be cleared from the water and beach area, immediately at the first

sound of thunder or the first sighting of lightning. Follow the procedures in the Severe Weather EAP.

Because lightning is attracted to the tallest object, patrons and staff should not be allowed to congregate

under trees, umbrellas or other tall objects. Everyone must leave the facility, and seek shelter in their

cars. The Gate shall be locked until the storm passes.

Return to the Facility

Patrons and staff may should not re-enter the facility or come out from shelter until 30 minutes after the

last sounding of thunder, or the last sighting of lightning. If the storm continues for a lengthy period of

time, or during the last hour of operation, at the supervisor’s discretion, the facility will remain closed

for the day.

S.O.G. #007

Protection from Infectious Materials and Bloodborne Pathogens

5/2/97 revised 2007, reviewed annually

Purpose

To describe minimum standards which must be followed by all personnel when providing emergency

medical care to all patients during the administration of first aid and emergency resuscitation.

Preface

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a standard that requires

employers to develop engineering controls and work practices and to provide personnel with protective

equipment that will reduce employee’s exposure to bloodborne pathogens and infectious diseases.

Personal Protective Equipment

For a person to become infected with any bloodborne virus, infected material must enter the body.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) acts as a barrier that prevents blood and other bodily fluids from

passing through its shield. The OSHA standards requires that PPE must keep infected material from

reaching employees’ work clothes, street clothes, undergarments, skin, eyes, mouth or mucous

membranes.

Procedures

Treat all body fluids as if there were contaminated.

Check PPE before use to make sure it is in good condition.

Replace disposable gloves and other equipment as soon as possible after they are exposed to blood

or other infectious fluids.

Always have access to several pairs of gloves and replace them when they are torn or punctured.

Never wash or try to decontaminate gloves or other equipment designed for single patient use.

Wash your hands thoroughly after you have come into contact with blood or other bodily fluids,

even if you have worn gloves. If you have been exposed, you should also shower as soon as

possible.

Wear appropriate face & eye protection whenever you think your eyes, nose, or mouth could be

exposed to sprays, splatters, or drops of blood or infectious materials. Pocket masks, goggles are

examples.

Remove contaminated clothing as soon as possible after exposure.

Before leaving work, place contaminated equipment and clothing in appropriate containers for

storing, washing or disposal.

Infection Control Kit/Bodily Fluids Disposal Procedures 6/9/97 revised 5/1/07

Purpose

To describe the proper storage & procedure for using the Infection Control Kits.

Storage

The red Infection Control Kit will be on the Lifeguard supply cart and the Infection Control Bucket is in the storage

shed. These items are only to be used in an emergency involving bodily fluids. Familiarize yourself with the kit,

but do not open any sterile packaging. When this kit is used, immediately notify the Beach Director who will notify

the Recreation Director, concerning replacement.

Procedures

Check daily that the Infection Control Kits are stocked (with Bodily Fluid Disposal Kit, latex gloves, 2 germicidal

disposable wipes and pocket mask) & where they belong.

In an emergency, where protection from and disposal of bodily fluids is necessary, take the following steps:

Put on Disposable Apron, Eye shield/Face Mask, Shoe covers & latex gloves.

Give appropriate care to the victim.

After the emergency, clean up as follows:

1. Decide which kit to use (large spills- bucket, small spills – red kit)

2. Open the Bodily Fluid Disposal Kit box.

3. Sprinkle the contents of the Super-Absorbent packet over the spill until the fluid is completely absorbed.

4. Use the Scoop and Scraper to scrape up the Absorbent.

5. Put the Absorbent material, Scoop & Scraper in a red Biohazard bag and tie it shut. DO NOT discard

protective clothing.

6. Pour half of the Cavicide Disinfectant/Cleaner over spill area. Allow to remain wet for 30 seconds. Use

paper towel to wipe up.

7. Pour remainder of the Cavicide over the spill area. Allow to remain wet for 10 minutes.

8. Use paper towel to wipe up the solution.

9. Place ALL items including protective clothing in second biohazard bag. Do not try to clean or reuse any of

these materials.

10. Seal the red Biohazard bag to prevent leakage. Arrange with Rescue Squad to dispose of properly.

11. Thoroughly wash hands & arms and/or any skin that may have come in contact with bodily fluids with soap.

Fill out accident report in Daily Log and Bodily Fluid Disposal Kit Exposure Report Form. Give Exposure Report

to the Beach Director or Head Lifeguard, who will then give it the Recreation Director.

Res-Q-Vac Suction Procedures 6/9/97 revised 2003

Purpose

To describe the proper storage & procedure for using the Res-Q-Vac (Suction device).

Preface

Statistics show that over 90% of near drowning/drowning victims begin this trauma by beginning to

vomit. The victim’s airway automatically closes off to prevent aspirating the vomit. The victim panics

even more when they can’t get any air in this situation. The preferred procedure for removing this

vomit/water before & during Rescue Breathing/CPR is with a suction device, it is more effective than

wiping the victims mouth out with a gloved finger, or rolling the victim to one side to drain.

The Res-Q-Vac is simple to assemble & use. Become familiar with the procedure and examine the

device. This additional step added to Professional Rescuer techniques for rescue breathing or CPR will

require an additional staff member performing the suction. If an additional staff member is not

available to give care, the ventilator will need to periodically interrupt rescue breathing to operate the

Res-Q-Vac as needed.

Storage

The Res-Q-Vac will be available for staff. This devise is only to be used in a rescue breathing

emergency involving bodily fluids. Familiarize yourself with the instructions and pump handle, but do

not open any sterile packaging. When this device is used, immediately notify the Beach Director who

will notify the Recreation Director, concerning replacement.

Procedures

Check daily that the Res-Q-Vac and Airway System available.

In a Rescue Breathing emergency, when suction necessary, take the following steps:

1 person will assemble the Res-O-Vac (while the primary survey is begun).

Assemble by:

1. Test vacuum handle before using by placing index finger over vacuum port (hole above blue dot

inside handle mechanism) and repeatedly squeeze the handle. As handle is squeezed, a vacuum

should be felt and the handle will become more difficult to squeeze.

2. Remove airway system from sterile package.

3. Tighten Cap On Vial. Snap fluid trap into Vacuum pump handle by aligning the vacuum fitting with

hole in the handle.

4. Place the catheter (tube) into victim’s mouth, just enough to reach fluids. Be gentle and careful

during insertion and suction to avoid trauma (damage) to the victim’s airway.

Appendix F, SOG 11, Page 1 / 2

21

5. Squeeze the handle of the pump repeatedly to produce vacuum. Once fluid has been

removed, continue rescue breathing procedures.

6. Repeat suction as needed during rescue breathing procedures, keeping the airway clear.

7. If the handle becomes difficult to operate, there is a blockage. Stop suctioning until blockage is

removed. If it is necessary to break the vacuum lock, pop the fluid trap off the handle and clear

blockage. If the catheter becomes clogged, withdraw it from the victim and aspirate air or water into

tube by squeezing the handle.

8. Once the Res-Q-Vac is clear, continue suction as needed.

9. After the Rescue Squad has arrived and has removed/replaced the Res-Q-Vac, remove the fluid trap

from the handle. Cap it, and label it with label in the sterile kit. Give the fluid trap to the Rescue

Squad to take to the hospital.

10. The vacuum handle should be disinfected and put away. A replacement airway should be obtained

from the Recreation director.

Exposure Control Plan

Mt. Olive Recreation: Budd Lake Municipal Beach

Exposure Determination

Identify Risks

There is a limited risk of exposure to bodily fluids, especially blood and infectious materials. It would

be likely to occur during the administration of emergency first aid and close supervision during

activities. There is also limited risk with removing waste from the beach; litter and used 1st aid supplies.

Employees likely to be at risk

Lifeguards, Swim Instructors, and other Staff who are assigned to provide emergency first aid would be

more at risk to disease transmission due to the increased likelihood of contact with blood. However, the

likelihood of major illness is small.

Staff could be at risk for infectious diseases if helping ill patrons, due to close proximity.

Employees who handle the trash which could include regulated waste, such as sharp objects, and

discarded medical type waste including adhesive bandages, bandaging materials and used tissues/paper

towels or used popsicle sticks/cigarette ends and animal waste are also at risk. Wearing gloves during

clean-up procedures and frequent washing of hands after contact will reduce this risk.

Exposure Management

Precautions prior to incident

Bloodborne Pathogen Training began in the summer of 1997. As of 2000, all employees are required to

be minimally certified in Community CPR and 1st Aid Basics. Training will include aspects of

“Preventing Disease Transmission”. Employees will be encouraged to maintain their CPR and 1st Aid

Skills through regularly scheduled in-service training classes at the beginning of each summer season.

This training includes the use of protective devices including masks & gloves.

Employees will be encouraged during the Bloodborne Pathogen Training to contact their own personal

health care provider for an individual medical evaluation and review of immunizations in light of the

potential risks related to their particular job. Mt. Olive Township’s Health Department can arrange for

Hepatitis B Vaccines for employees.

The first aid kit(s) will be evaluated and updated prior to opening for the summer season, and

periodically checked and updated throughout the season as needed. Protective gloves and pocket masks

with extra one-way valves are included. A “BlO.-HAZARD bag” and plastic ziploc bags have been

added to the kit for disposing of blood soaked waste. Employees will be instructed to note on

accident/incident reports any information needed concerning exposure to bodily fluids. Alcohol and

antiseptic wipes as well as soap are included in the first aid kit, to be used by staff before and after


24

giving first aid care, as well as for cleaning minor wounds. Clean water is supplied daily. Daily safety

checks are performed for the safety of the staff and the patrons. Sharp objects, especially glass, as welt

as other waste will be disposed of. Equipment will be checked for safety. Thorough disinfecting of

bathrooms, etc. will be performed by outside companies.

Procedures during and after incident

The priority during an emergency is to provide the best treatment for the victim while providing the

maximum safety for the first aider. All first aiders are taught in the current Red Cross/Green Cross

training that protective measures such as gloves are essential. Employees will be encouraged to use a

pocket mask during Rescue Breathing and CPR for the protection of the first aider.

Immediately after the emergency, while Emergency Medical Service personnel or police officers are

still on the scene, an evaluation of the first aider’s exposure will be made. If there is any possibility of

exposure, the first aider as well as the victim will be transported to the hospital for medical evaluation

and treatment. If a Staff member identifies a patron with a possible infectious illness, he/she will inform

the Head Guard and Beach Director who will then notify the correct Chain of Command. ill patrons are

to leave the beach as soon as it is reasonably possible. Anyone having close contact with the ill patron

will be notified. They may check with their health care provider concerning medical evaluation and

treatment.

Clean up procedures and waste disposal

If possible, all contaminated materials (including sand/soil) will be sent to the hospital with EMS for

evaluation and disposal. If contaminated materials (including sand/soil) are discovered or remain after

EMS leave the scene, material will be properly collected in BIO-HAZARD bag(s) and will be taken to

the police station for disposal. Supervisor should immediately notify custodial staff to disinfect any

area suspected of spreading infectious disease.

The incident report will reflect whether or not there was any exposure to body fluids. It should be noted

in the Log, and the Beach Director and Recreation Department should be notified.

Post incident evaluation and follow up

A post incident meeting will take place within 72 hours, if possible. All personnel involved in the

incident will be present (except the victim), as well as the Beach Director, Head Guard, any staff

involved and/or Recreation Department Supervisor and/or anyone else deemed appropriate. The

purpose of this meeting is not to assign blame, but to evaluate how closely the emergency procedures

were followed, determine if there were any deviations and to evaluate the procedures themselves.

Revisions, if necessary will be proposed. Support will be provided to the personnel involved as needed.

Re-evaluation of Exposure Control Plan

Each year just before the Beach season begins, this Exposure Control Plan will be evaluated and

updated as necessary. A committee of lifeguards, instructors and other staff will review procedures and

make recommendations to improve this plan and procedures.

This plan may also be updated at any time it becomes apparent, such as following an incident.


25

Schedule and Method of Implementation

Implementation

The initial implementation plan will include preparing the initial Exposure Control Plan and

Bloodborne Pathogen Training. The Health Department can arrange for immunizations for Hepatitis for

the staff. A list of employees will be given to the Health Department. “The Medical Center of Budd

Lake” on Rt. 46 administers care. Gloves and pocket masks are already in our first aid kit. They will be

checked and replaced as needed. Antiseptic, chlorine and alcohol wipes are in the first aid kit to clean

up after exposure to body fluids, if EMS determines that exposure is not serious enough to require

further medical evaluation. This will also be re-evaluated each year. It has been recommended that we

include: PPE kit (gown, goggles, shoe covers, etc.), and all staff carry gloves in their pockets/lanyards

or in close proximity while working.

Re-evaluate Exposure Control Plan following training

This Exposure Control Plan will be re-evaluated after the Bloodborne Pathogen Training. Comments

from Lifeguards, Swim Instructors, and other Staff will be incorporated into this Exposure Control Plan

and a revised copy, if any changes, will be available to each participant within one week of the

completion of all training. A committee of lifeguards, instructors and other staff will review procedures

and make recommendations to improve this plan and procedures.

Update Plan

Each year, just before the Beach opens, this Exposure Control Plan will be re-evaluated and updated as

necessary. This plan may also be updated at any time it becomes apparent, such as following an

incident. Emergency Action Plans will be updated to reflect any changes in procedures. Regular in-

service training will be scheduled each year. Annual Bloodborne Pathogen training will be scheduled

with CPR & 1st Aid Training for Memorial Day. All employees certified in first aid will be invited to

attend. After 2003, the Recreation Department may invite other personnel they feel would benefit from

this training.

Duck, Duck, Goose - Children sit in a circle in shallow water. An "It" walks around outside the circle, gently tapping each

child's head while announcing "Duck...Duck...Duck..." until he picks a child to be "Goose". The Goose

chases the It around the circle. It tries to get back to the Goose's spot. If It is successful, the Goose

becomes the next It. If the Goose catches the It, he/she goes into the center of the circle for 1 round of

play.

Red Light, Green Light -

1 person is the Traffic Signal. The Traffic Signal stands at 1 end of the play space, the other players line

up at the other end. Signals are given, Green Light means children can advance. Red Light means the

children must stop. Anyone still moving on Red Light go back to the beginning. The first child to

reach the Traffic Signal becomes the next Traffic Signal and play is repeated.

Alligators & Crabs Race or Soccer-

In very shallow water the children will learn how to lay on their bellies in the water and walk on their

hands. The legs trail behind for a tail. The alligators will have a course to travel. Then Crab walking

will taught. (Crawling on hands & feet, with back to the water) Short races/course will be provided.

Dodge Ball -

Players are in a circle, 1 child has a ball. The ball is tosses toward another player. If that player blows

bubbles (face in water, etc.) then they have "Dodged" the ball, and may then toss it toward another

player. If they did not "Dodge" the ball, the original player tosses it to someone else.

face wet or swim underwater, as is appropriate.

Over & Under - Teams are formed in a line. 1st person passes a ball over head to the player behind him. That player

passes the ball under water to the next. The passing continues, alternating over & under. When the ball

reaches the last person, they run to the front of the line and continue the play. The 1st team to have all

the players start the line wins.

The Sea is Rough - A variation of Follow the Leader combined with Tag.


33

1 person is selected to be "The Sea". The other players identify themselves as sea creatures. Each

creature has its own "Home". The goal will be to return there at the end of the game. "The Sea"

marches, skips, hops, spins, etc., around the creatures, calling them by type to come join the parade. As

more creatures are added, the play becomes faster. Eventually "The

Sea" announces THE SEA IS ROUGH. All the creatures try to return to their "Homes". "The Sea" tags

creatures before they reach home. Those creatures help "The Sea" tag more creatures. The Last

Creature caught becomes the next "Sea".

Catch the Whale's Tail" -

All players line up, holding onto each others waists. The Head tries to catch the tail. When it does, it

becomes the new tail and the second in line becomes the new head. If there a re a lot of children, more

than one whale can be formed, chasing a different whale's tail.

10 - 14 year olds Water Games

Freeze Tag - When "It" tags someone, they are frozen and must stay in 1 place. They may be unfrozen by another

player who swims underwater and tags them. When everyone is frozen, the last to be caught becomes

FROM DYFS 178

10:122-6.6 Discipline, May be used in staff training

GUIDELINES FOR POSITIVE DISCIPLINE

Positive discipline is a process of teaching children how to behave appropriately. Positive discipline respects the rights of the individual child, the group, and the adult. Positive discipline is different from punishment. Punishment tells children what they should not do; positive discipline tells children what they should do. Punishment teaches fear; positive discipline teaches self-esteem. You can use positive discipline by planning ahead:

Anticipate and eliminate potential problems. Have a few consistent, clear rules that are explained to children and understood by adults. Have a well-planned daily schedule. Plan for ample elements of fun and humor. Include some group decision-making. Provide time and space for each child to be alone. Make it possible for each child to feel he/she has bad some positive impact on the group. Provide the structure and support children need to resolve their differences. Share ownership and responsibility with the children. Talk about our room, our toys.

You can use positive discipline by intervening when necessary:

Re-direct to a new activity to change the focus of a child’s behavior. Provide individualized attention to help the child deal with a particular situation. Use time out -- by removing a child for a few minutes from the area or activity so that he/she may gain self control. (One minute for each year of the child’s age is a good rule of thumb). Divert the child and remove from the area of conflict. Provide alternative activities and acceptable ways to release feelings. Point out natural or logical consequences of children’s behavior. Offer a choice only if there are two acceptable options. Criticize the behavior, not the child. Don’t say “bad boy” or “bad girl.” Instead you might say, “That is not allowed here.”

You can use positive discipline by showing love and encouragement:

Catch the child being good. Respond to and reinforce positive behavior; acknowledge or praise to let the child know you approve of what he/she is doing. Provide positive reinforcement through rewards for good behavior. Use encouragement rather than competition, comparison or criticism. Overlook small annoyances, and deliberately ignore provocations. Give hugs and caring to every child every day. Appreciate the child’s point of view. Be loving, but don’t confuse loving with license.

Positive discipline takes time, patience, repetition and the willingness to change the way you deal with children. But it’s worth it, because positive discipline works.
