Pittsburgh's original Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science [1939-1991] did have regularly-scheduled staff training sessions for first aid, CPR, use of fire extinguishers, etc. And, of course, we had a first aid kit readily available for staff use. More and more, today, Automated External Defibrillators [AED] are being found in office buildings, subway stations, and many other public areas. An AED should be a part of a museum's or library's first aid supplies. gaw --- "Melissa A.Williams" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 11:26:30 -0700 From: "Melissa A.Williams" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: [MUSEUM-L] First Aid spaces/personnel To: [log in to unmask] > We are considering the space allocated to > health-related visitor > services issues for our new building.
