Raven EMS Education Program Manual
Section 5.75 - Health and Safety

“It is the policy of Raven Advisory, LLC to strive for the highest possible level of safety in all operations” (Forbes, Safety and health policy, 2022).

Students shall report any dangerous environmental situations or safety hazards to their instructor, preceptor, FTO, and/or clinical educator immediately (i.e. Spills, loose wires, unsafe equipment, etc.).

When practicing skills, students should operate all equipment appropriately and properly clean all equipment.

The clinical preceptor(s), FTO(s), and clinical educator(s) have final authority over the student during rotations.

If at any time the student performs actions not approved by the preceptor(s), FTO(s), or clinical educator(s), the participant may be sent home or possibly expelled from the course.

Directions given by training personnel should be followed and if not understood, the student should ask for clarification before continuing the task.
