IF ANYONE IS SUFFERING FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION, THEY ARE TO REPORT TO THE CAMP OFFICE AND HEALTH OFFICER IMMEDIATELY. 

RABIES 

Rabies is a serious disease whose frequency is reaching near epidemic proportions in Pennsylvania.  Everyone should avoid the handling of small animals, such as rodents, squirrels, or stray dogs and cats.  If one is bitten, he/she should report to the Health Lodge immediately. 

TICKS AND LYME DISEASE 

1. All Unit Leaders should inform their Scouts and other leaders about Tick and Lyme Disease.  Instruction should be given on how to decrease the likelihood of a Tick bite, how to remove a Tick, and the importance of reporting Tick bites to the Health Lodge. 
2. The disease is characterized by a distinctive skin lesion, which is a flat or raised red spot that expands in larger and larger concentric circles.  Sometimes multiple lesions occur.  Systemic symptoms include fatigue, fever, headache, stiff neck, muscle aches, joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes.
3. The incubation period is 3-32 days after being bitten by the I. Dammini Tick. 
4. Precautions

• Avoid Tick infected areas when feasible.
• When Tick infested areas can’t be avoided, then long pants should be worn.
• Scouts are encouraged to do a personal body search each day for crawling or attached Ticks.
• Any Tick found must be removed promptly, without crushing, using gentle steady traction to avoid leaving mouth parts in the skin.
• Removed Tick should be saved for identification.
• Persons removing Ticks should protect their hands with rubber gloves or gauze and wash them thoroughly afterwards.
• Two compounds have been demonstrated to be effective Tick repellents:
1. Diethyl-M-Toluamide or (DEET) — DEET is approved for application to skin and is widely available commercially under trade names as “OFF”, “Deep Woods Off”, “Muskol”, etc.  Keep these products away from eyes and face. 
2. Permethrine, marketed under the name “Permanone”.  It is applied as a liquid spray to outer garments. 

HIGH WATER WARNINGS 

• All aquatic activities will cease for the duration of the warning. Everyone will proceed to higher ground. 

HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL SPILLS 

            ACTION LIST:

CHILD ABUSE 

Child abuse in any form is unacceptable and requires an immediate response.  Reports of child abuse may come in many forms.  They may be in conversation, phone calls, or letters by either anonymous or identified individuals.  Disclosure of abuse situations may be accidental or purposeful. ANY INFORMATION OR SUSPICION OF ABUSE, IN ANY FORM MUST BE REPORTED TO THE CAMP DIRECTOR, AND ONLY THE CAMP DIRECTOR. 

Every report will be reported to the Scout Executive.  No one should make an independent decision about the veracity of the report of child abuse.  The Scout Executive must consult with the Council’s key volunteers and legal counsel to determine the manner in which to confront the individual with the accusation. 

There need only to be reasonable suspicion that abuse has occurred.  The law does not require proof, but it does specifically require reporting of suspected child abuse.  Proving the case is the responsibility of trained investigators, not the individual making the report.

BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS EXPOSURE CONTROL PLAN

In accordance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, the following exposure control plan has been developed: 

• EXPOSURE DETERMINATION

OSHA requires employers to perform an exposure determination concerning which employees may incur occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials.  The exposure determination is made without regard to the use of personal protective equipment (i.e. employees are considered to be exposed even if they wear personal protective equipment).  This exposure determination is required to list all job classifications in which all employees may be expected to incur such occupational exposure, regardless of frequency.  At this facility the following job classifications are in this category:

PRIMARY PEOPLE: 

HEALTH OFFICER

AQUATICS DIRECTOR

LIFEGUARDS 

In addition, OSHA requires a listing of job classifications in which some employees may have occupational exposure.  Since not all employees in these categories would be expected to incur exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, tasks or procedures that would cause these employees to have occupational exposure are also required to be listed in order to clearly understand which employees in these categories are considered to have occupational exposure.  The job classifications and associated tasks for these categories are as follows: 

SECONDARY PEOPLE: 

CAMP DIRECTOR

PROGRAM DIRECTOR

AREA DIRECTORS

SUPPORT STAFF

C.I.T.’s 
 

OSHA also requires that this plan include a schedule and method of implementation for the various requirements of the standard.  The following complies with this requirement: 

Compliance Methods 

Universal precautions will be observed at this facility in order to prevent contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.  All blood or other potentially infectious material will be considered infectious regardless of the perceived status of the source individual. 

Engineering and work practice controls will be utilized to eliminate or minimize exposure to employees at this facility.  Where occupational exposure remains after institution of these controls, personal protective equipment shall also be utilized in accordance with the standard.  At this facility, the following engineering controls, among others will be utilized: 

PROTECTIVE AIRWAY MASKS AVAILABLE IN ALL FIRST AID KITS, DISPOSABLE GLOVES, BROOMS, DUSTPAN AND SOLUTIONS FOR CLEANING. 

PLASTIC BAGS AND COVERED CONTAINERS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN FIRST AID STATION FOR DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS. 

The above controls will be examined and maintained on a regular schedule.  The schedule for reviewing the effectiveness of the controls is as follows: 

THE HEALTH OFFICER WILL CHECK FIRST AID KITS WEEKLY FOR ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF AIRWAY MASKS AND DISPOSABLE GLOVES.  THE REGULAR FULL-TIME SUPERVISOR WILL CHECK WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER CLEANING AND DISPOSAL EQUIPMENT IS AVAILABLE IN USABLE CONDITION. 

Hand washing facilities are also available and must be used by employees who incur exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials.  OSHA requires that these facilities be readily accessible after incurring exposure.  At this facility hand washing facilities are located at:

CENTRAL SHOWERS

CAMPSITE LATRINES

DINING HALL KITCHEN

GEAR ISSUE 

After removal of personal protective gloves, employees shall wash hands and any other potentially contaminated skin area immediately or as soon as feasible with soap and water. 

If employees incur exposure to their skin or mucous membranes, then those areas shall be washed or flushed with water as appropriate as soon as feasible following contact. 

NEEDLES 

Contaminated needles and other contaminated sharps will not be bent, recapped, sheared or purposely broken.  OSHA allows an exception to this if the procedure would require that the contaminated needle be recapped or removed and no alternative is feasible and the action is required by medical procedure.  If such action is required, then the recapping or removal of the needle must be done by the use of a mechanical device or one-handed technique.  At this facility recapping or removal is not permitted. 

Containers for Reusable Sharps 

Contaminated sharps that are reusable are to be placed immediately, or as soon as possible, after use into appropriate sharps containers.  At this facility the sharps containers are puncture resistant and leak proof. 

The Health Officer has responsibility for removing sharps from containers on a daily basis. 

Clean-up 

All procedures will be conducted in a manner, which will minimize splashing, spraying, splattering, and generation of droplets of blood or other potentially infectious materials.  The methods which will be employed at this facility to accomplish this goal is: 

THE COVER METHOD.  WITH GLOVED HANDS, PLACE PAPER TOWEL OVER THE SPILL AND SPRAY THE TOP OF THE PAPER TOWEL WITH A SOLUTION THAT CONTAINS ONE PART HOUSEHOLD BLEACH, TEN PARTS WATER.  DO NOT PAT DOWN, BUT WAIT FOR THE BLOOD AND SOLUTION TO BE ABSORBED, THEN PICK UP PAPER TOWELS AND DISPOSE OF THEM AS REGULATED TRAHS.  IF ONLY A RESIDUE REMAINS, SPRAY THE AREA WITH THE DECONTAMINATION SOLUTION AND WIPE UP, REMOVE AND CARE FOR GLOVES PROPERLY AND WASH YOUR HANDS. 
 

Contaminated Equipment 

Equipment, which has become contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious materials, shall be examined prior to servicing or shipping and shall be decontaminated as necessary unless the decontamination of the equipment is not feasible. 

Personal Protective Equipment 

All personal protective equipment required by the standard and used at this facility will be provided without cost to employees.  Personal protective equipment will be chosen based on the anticipated exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials.  The protective equipment will be considered appropriate only if it does not permit blood or other potentially infectious materials to pass through or reach the employee’s clothing, skin, eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes under normal conditions of use and for the duration of time which the protective equipment will be used. 

All mandatory personal protective equipment will be cleaned, laundered, and disposed of by the employer at no cost to the employees.  The employer will provide all employees with appropriately sized and fitting clothing.  All repairs and replacements will be made by the employer at no cost to the employees. 

All garments, which are penetrated by blood, shall be removed immediately or as soon as feasible.  All personal protective equipment will be removed prior to leaving the work area.  The following protocol has been developed to facilitate leaving the equipment at the work area: 

A COVERED CONTAINER WILL BE PLACED IN THE HEALTH OFFICE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF ALL CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT. 

Gloves shall be worn where it is reasonable anticipated that employees will have hand contact with blood, other potentially infectious materials, non-intact skin, and mucous membranes.  Gloves will be available from: 

HEALTH LODGE

FIRST AID KITS IN ALL PROGRAM AREAS

CAMP OFFICE 

EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOT TOUCH THEIR FACE WHETHER IT TO BE TO BRUSH SOME HAIR OUT OF THEIR EYES OR TO SCRATCH AN ITCH WITH GLOVES ON.  EVEN IF THE GLOVES AREN’T CONTAMINATED, IT COULD BECOME A HABIT.  SHOULD THE GLOVES EVER BECOME CONTAMINATED, THE BEHAVIOR COULD OCCUR UNINTENTIONALLY.  GLOVES SHOULD ALWAYS BE REMOVED BEFORE LEAVING THE WORK AREA AND HANDS THOROUGHLY WASHED. 

Gloves will be used for the following procedures: 

CLEANING UP POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS MATERIALS

RENDERING FIRST AID 

Disposable gloves used at this facility are not to be washed or decontaminated for reuse and are to be replaced as soon as practical when they become contaminated or as soon as feasible if they are torn, punctured, or when their ability to function as a barrier is compromised. 

Housekeeping 

This facility will be cleaned and decontaminated the day in incident. 

The foregoing decontamination will be accomplished by utilizing the following materials: 

            A 10% HOUSEHOLD BLEACH AND TAP WATER MIXTURE.

            THIS SOLUTION WILL BE KEPT IN THE HEALTH OFFICE. 

All contaminated work surfaces will be decontaminated after completion of procedures and immediately or as soon as feasible after any spill of blood or other potentially infectious materials, as well as the end of the work shift if the surface may have become contaminated since the last cleaning. 

All bins, pails, cans, and similar receptacles shall be inspected and decontaminated on a regular scheduled basis. 

UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE HEALTH OFFICER AND CAMP DIRECTOR, ALL DISPOSABLE PAILS, BINS, AND CANS WILL BE DECONTAMINATED ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS WITH A SMALL MOP.

GLOVES WILL BE WORN. 

Any broken glass, which may be contaminated, will not be picked up directly with the hands.  The following procedures will be used: 

A DUSTPAN AND HAND BROOM WILL BE USED.  MAKE SURE TO BRING THE SHARPS CONTAINED TO THE MESS RATHER THAN CARRY THE CONTAMINATED WASTE.  THE SHARPS CONTAINER SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN UPRIGHT.  ALSO, THE SHARPS CONTAINER SHOULD BE CLOSED WHENEVER IT IS MOVED OR NOT IN USE.  ALL EQUIPMENT WILL BE CONTAMINATED AFTER CLEAN UP AND GLOVES WILL ALWAYS BE WORN. 

Regulated Waste Disposal 

All contaminated sharps shall be discarded as soon as feasible in sharps containers which are located in the facility.  Sharps containers are located in the Health Office. 

Hepatitis B. Vaccine 

All employees identified above, as having exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials will be offered the Hepatitis B vaccine, at no cost to employee.  The vaccine will be offered within 10 working days of their initial assignment to work involving the potential for occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials unless the employee has previously had the vaccine or who wishes to submit to antibody testing which shows the employee to have sufficient immunity. 

Employees who decline the Hepatitis B vaccine will sign a waiver, which uses the wording in Appendix A of the OSHA standard.  (Employees who initially decline the vaccine but who later wish to have it, may then have the vaccine at no cost.) 

Post-Exposure Evaluation and Follow-up 

When the employee incurs an exposure incident, it should be reported to Health Officer and Camp Director. 

All employees who incur an exposure incident will be offered post-exposure evaluation and follow-up in accordance with the OSHA standard. 

The follow-up will include the following: 

• The employer and employee will document the route of exposure and the circumstances related to the incident.

• The employer and employee will ascertain the identification of the source individual and if possible, the status of the source individual.  The blood of the source individual will be tested (after consent is obtained) for HIV/HBV infectivity.

• Results of testing of the source individual will be made available to the exposed employee.  He will also be informed about the applicable laws and regulations concerning disclosure of the identity and infectivity of the source individual.

• The employee will be offered the option of having his blood collected for testing of HIV/HBV serological status.  The blood sample will be preserved for up to 90 days to allow the employee to decide if the blood should be tested for HIV serological status.  However, if the employee decides prior to that time that testing will or will not be conducted, then the appropriate action can be taken and the blood sample discarded.

• The employee will be offered post exposure prophylaxis in accordance with the current recommendation of the U. S. Public Health Service.  These recommendations are currently as follows:

SEE CAMP DIRECTOR FOR A COPY OF THE FEDERAL REGISTER DATED DECEMBER 6, 1991

THESE RECOMMENDATIONS NEED TO BE READ AND FOLLOWED 

• The employee will be given appropriate counseling concerning precautions to take during the period after the exposure incident.  The employee will also be given information on what potential illnesses to be alert for and to report any related experiences to appropriate personnel.

• The following person (s) have been designated to assure that the policy outlined here is effectively carried out as well as to maintain records related to this policy:

CAMP DIRECTOR AND CAMP MEDICAL OFFICER

SAFETY MANUAL 

There is a certain amount of hazard to every job, but if everyone is careful and works at keeping camp a safe place to work, no one should have an accident. 

Get into the habit of thinking safety.  Accidents happen because someone becomes careless.  Take time to be safe.  Learn the proper way to use tools and equipment.  Not only will the job get done easier and quicker and the tools last longer, but also the chances of an accident will be eliminated. 

We have lots of people that use the camp.  Their safety is our responsibility.  We must not create hazards or allow unsafe conditions to exist.  While you are working around camp, be on the lookout for hazards.  If you see something that looks unsafe, remedy the condition immediately, if possible, or report it to the Camp Director. 

The safety of others, as well as yourself is your responsibility.  Make sure everyone in the area where you are working is not in any danger.  If this is not possible, stop the operation until the area is clear.  This is especially important when operating mowers and chain saws.  These tools can throw objects for a considerable distance.  NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WILL BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE ANY POWER TOOLS!! 

It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every safety practice and some may not be covered, but by following those listed being on the alert for safety hazards, the camp can be a safe place to work and play.  Remember that SAFETY is only a word until it is put into practice. 

NATURAL HAZARDS 

In the case of high winds or severe storms, the best way to maintain camp safety and prevent unnecessary injuries is to examine the condition of trees and limbs as you walk throughout camp. 

Dead standing trees or dead limbs can easily break away or fall due to the conditions associated with high winds or severe weather. 

All staff are to notify (personally show) the Camp Director or Ranger of any trees that are either completely dead or limb dead. 

Steps will be taken to remove those trees immediately. 
 
 
 

FIRE PREVENTION 

As Scouts, we learn the proper use of fire in our activities.  Proper preparation of fire rings along with the observance of the “no flame in tent” rule must be considered in order to prevent fires in camp. 

HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL SPILLS 

Hazardous chemicals are found throughout camp.  Items ranging from cleaning supplies to gasoline and paint can be hazardous if spilled.  In order to prevent accidents and/or injury due to these materials, the proper use, as directed on labels must be used.  More detailed explanation and procedures can be found on the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) located in four areas in camp.  These locations are the camp office, camp health office, camp Ranger’s residence, and the storage area of the individual items. 

Disposal of such materials, including empty storage containers, will consist of the specific label instructions. 

WORKSHOPS: 

A clean place to work is a safer place to work.  Take time to keep the shop clean and orderly.  It is not quitting time until the shop is clean and all tools put in their place.  Allow yourself enough time at the end of the day to accomplish this.  This time spent will not be wasted because tools will not become lost or have to be hunted for when needed. 

Do not put a tool away dirty or greasy.  Besides being messy, a greasy tool could slip and cause an injury. 

Always make sure the area you are working is free from hazards.  Never leave tools on the floor where they can be stepped on.  Always clean any spills that you may have experienced. 

Make sure workbenches are clear and the tops and area around power tools is clean. 

Do not leave oily rags or solvent drenched rags lying around. 

Do not wear loose fitting clothing, and tie up long hair while around moving machinery. 

Never work under any vehicle that is on a jack or hoist. 
 
 

HAND TOOLS: 

Using hand tools correctly will not only be safer, but will extend the life of the tool. 

Always use sharp tools.  A dull ax or other tool can glance and cause an injury. 

Use carpenters claw hammer only for its intended use – driving or removing nails.  Use a ball peen hammer for driving or pounding on chisels or metal. 

Never use an Ax, Sledge or Hammer with a loose head or cracked handle. 

Always pull on an adjustable end wrench toward the movable jaw.  It is less likely to slip and cause injury. 

Always pull on an end wrench, if possible; if not, use the palm of your hand to push the wrench.  This will help avoid knuckle injury. 

LADDERS 

Inspect all ladders before use.  If they are damaged or appear unsafe, do not use. 

Do not climb on boxes or other makeshift arrangements. 

Make sure ladders are set securely.  Never use the top step on a ladder. 

Do not work around live electrical wires from an aluminum ladder. 

Never reach out from a ladder.  Take time to move it. 

Be sure safety feet are on ladder. 

ROTARY LAWN MOWERS 

Whenever working on blades on the underside of mower, disconnect the spark plug wire. 

Never fill a mower with gasoline while it is running or warm.  If you should accidentally spill some gasoline, wipe it off and let the gasoline evaporate before attempting to start mower. 

Never walk away from a running mower. 

Never reach near underside while mower is running.

Always PUSH the mower.  Do not pull it toward you. 

Always mow so the ejection part is away from buildings. 

Make sure people are not in close proximity while mowing. 

Make sure your feet are not near or under mower before starting. 

AXES 

Keep your ax sharp. 

Always carry an ax sheathed and in the proper manner. 

Always mark the ax in a log with the handle parallel with the log.  Make sure the log is as long as the handle.  Never leave an ax lying on the ground. 

Always have firm footing and a clear area, at least two ax lengths, before starting to chop. 

Stand on opposite side of log when limbing. 

Never use an ax with a loose head or cracked handle. 

Never use an ax to drive a wedge. 

Keep others out of the line of ax travel and out of the area by at least ten feet. 

MISCELLANEOUS WOOD TOOLS 

Keep your other hand away while using a bow saw. 

Do not allow the heads of steel wedges to become mushroomed.  Grind them properly before using. 

GASOLINE AND FUEL 

Do not put gasoline in any other container than a marked gasoline can. 

Never use gasoline to start any kind of fire. 

Keep all gasoline and fuel oil cans in their proper storage place.  Do not leave them lying around in any building. 

When using a gasoline powered tool keep your gasoline can at a safe location under your supervision.  Start your engine at least 10 feet away from your refueling spot. 

Never smoke near or around gasoline products or tools. 

Never clean with gasoline inside an enclosed building. 

Log all gasoline usage on the proper forms. 

Be sure you know what fuel a vehicle uses before refueling it. 

TRUCK AND VEHICLE SAFETY 

The maximum speed allowed in camp is slow, no more than 10 mph.  However, in many cases even this is too fast. Therefore, drive carefully as well as slowly. 

Seat Belts must be fastened on all trips. 

NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO RIDE ON THE OUTSIDE OF ANY VEHICLE FOR ANY REASON.  THIS INCLUDES IN THE BEDS OF TRUCKS.  VIOLATION OF THIS REGULATION IS CAUSE FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION AND MAY RESULT IN DISMISSAL. 

Stay clear of any vehicle that is pulling something by chain or cable.  If you are driving the vehicle, make sure everyone is clear of you. 

Pennsylvania State Laws are in effect for any vehicle traveling outside of camp.  Vehicles are permitted to leave camp with only the expressed permission of the Camp Director. 

Ask for help when attempting to back into tight spaces. 

The driver is responsible for the safe loading of a vehicle.  He is responsible to know the load limit of the vehicle, securing the load for transport, and for any damage and injury resulting from improper loading. 

Notify the Camp Director if a vehicle is not responding properly or if something appears to be unsafe.
