Students should be instructed to consult their personal health care provider for follow-up care. Used first aid kits and/or used bloodborne pathogen kits should be given to the college health nurse to be restocked.In event of a serious (life-threatening) illness or injury, 911 should be called immediately to administer emergency treatment and transport to a health care facility. An Accident, Illness, Incident and Offense Report should be completed immediately following any accident, injury or serious illness involving a PCC student or employee that occurs on the PCC campus.
