That is this weeks topic. And how to deal with it. In Wisconsin this month a firefighter was killed by a guy who he was called to help. The guy was on a bus and had passed out from a narcotic drug overdose. The FF gives him some Narcan. The guy wakes up and is now dealing with the cops. The guy gets anxious, pulls a gun and starts firing at the cops. The FF is shot and killed by the guy whose life he just saved. Poisoning comes in all forms. Carbon monoxide. Oxycontin. Bleach and ammonia mixed together creating Chlorine gas. Tylenol overdose. These can be intentional or accidental. The poison control hotline number is: 800-222-1222. Do you have that in your phone memory? What are you going to do when someone on your job site has a poisoning issue? Do you know what to do or who to call? Or at home? This is the last week. Go back and look again at all of your work and make sure it is all done. Have something not finished? Get it in now. Thanks for being here and taking the course. You did well and have proven yourself to be a winner. Way to go. Assignment QUESTION 1 Identify the four categories of street drugs, and provide an example of each.
