If an accident does happen at the ACRE resulting in injury then certain decisions and actions must follow. If the injury is life threatening or serious then activate the “911” system. It is critical to know the farm address of “4540 US Hwy 52 West, West Lafayette, IN.” Also it will be beneficial to know that you are in “Wabash Township”, since the first responders will be from this local volunteer department. Since the farm is a very big place it will be important to communicate exactly where the injured person is. Appropriate first aid may be required until emergency responders arrive. Other less serious injuries can be treated through approved medical providers. The Purdue PUSH facility no longer treats employee injuries, but many options still exist for treatment and vary by time of day. All work related injuries must be reported to a supervisor and a “First Report of Injury” form must be completed. Think, plan, and work safely at ACRE. Jim
