How do you keep yourself safe on the job?

"It's important to always assess the situation for threats and hazards. For example, if it's an active shooter scene, you must be alert and aware. If you're responding to a drug overdose, it's important to be on alert for syringes or other paraphernalia that could cause harm. I wear proper PPE (gloves, goggles, mask, etc.) as needed to protect myself from physical and biohazards. As an ECA, we receive a lot of training on keeping safe on the job, and I'm always sure to follow best practices, policies, and guidelines to keep myself, the team, and my patients safe."
