Editor's Notes
- Slide Show Notes When it is clear that a victim’s condition is immediately life threatening, such as choking or not breathing, perform first aid immediately. When the situation is not life threatening, there are multiple injuries, or when there are multiple victims, take a few moments to assess the scene to make sure it is safe for you and other helpers and to be certain you know what type of first aid is required: Evaluate the scene for number of injured and nature of the event. Assess the safety of the scene, including the potential for toxic vapors or gases in the air, and other risks such as electrical or fire hazards. Prioritize care when there are several injured. Check victims for medical alert tags. Perform a logical head-to-toe check for injuries. Move the victim only if absolutely necessary to prevent further injury from a hazard at the scene. Do you know which of your co-workers is certified in first aid and CPR? You should call a trained person to the scene whenever there’s a situation you can’t handle yourself. Identify employees who are certified in first aid and CPR and/or those who have been designated as emergency first responders.
- Slide Show Notes Every medical emergency is different, of course, but there are four basic rules that apply to all medical emergencies. One, call for medical help immediately. An employee on the scene should call 911 while another certified in first aid and CPR tends to the victim. If you make the call, explain the kind of injury and where the victim is located. Two, bring help to the victim, don’t bring the victim to help. In other words, victims should not be moved unless they are in imminent danger where they are. Three, check the ABCs. “A” stands for airway. “B” stands for breathing. And “C” stands for circulation. That means check to make sure the throat is clear, the victim is breathing, and the victim has a pulse. A first-aid certified employee may be called upon to perform rescue breathing or CPR to keep the victim alive until EMS (emergency medical services) personnel arrive. And four, do no further harm. Be careful not to cause additional injuries in your attempt to help a victim.
