First Aid: Agenda In today’s session, you’ll be learning about: What first aid is Who is authorised to administer first aid What to do in the event of a medical emergency

What is First Aid? First aid is emergency care provided for an injury or sudden illness before emergency medical treatment is available. Examples of first aid include: Treatment for non-life-threatening emergencies, including burns, eye injuries and wounds Treatment for life-threatening emergencies, including poisoning, asphyxiation, seizures

Why is this important to me? Prompt and knowledgeable treatment can prevent minor injuries from becoming major. It is important that every employee knows: Which employees are trained and authorised to administer first aid and how to reach them quickly and What to do and what not to do in the event of a medical emergency

Ringing an Ambulance In some cases, a sick or injured worker may be taken to a medical facility by car, but many times an ambulance is necessary. Always ring an ambulance when: The employee is unconscious or in shock There is haemorrhaging There are severe abdominal cramps and/or vomiting There is an apparent fracture There are other symptoms of internal injury

What if I Get Hurt? If you become ill or injured: Take it seriously. Contact your supervisor or other personnel trained in first aid. Fully document the injury. Could help to avoid future injuries NEVER drive yourself to a medical facility.

What if Someone Else Gets Hurt? When a co-worker is ill or injured, take the following actions: Notify a member of management Do not move the ill or injured person Avoid contact with blood or other bodily fluids If you are calm, stay with the person to provide comfort If directed by your supervisor, wait for emergency responders at the entrance and direct them to the scene of the emergency If you are not involved, clear the area

Eyewash Stations and Showers If you are exposed to chemicals, the first 10 to 15 seconds are very important in preventing serious injury. Emergency eyewash stations and emergency showers are located: [INSERT LOCATIONS] Wash for a minimum of 15 minutes Alert a supervisor to your injury Quickly remove contact lenses prior to flushing eyes

Conclusion What should you keep in mind from today’s presentation? Know the locations of first aid kits Know who has been trained as a first-aider Follow procedures for injury reporting and treatment
