Approaches
Understanding basic first aid in the workplace is an important part of creating a safe environment in your business or organization. When your employees are trained in basic first aid, they will be able to respond quickly and appropriately to injuries or medical conditions in the workplace.
As we mentioned earlier, first aid is not considered medical treatment. Insteadly, it's the basic understanding that you need to help the injured person until the medical professionals arrive at the scene. Three main goals for first aid:
-
Save life
-
Prevent further injury
-
Promote recovery
If someone is injured in the workplace, your goal is to do everything you can to ensure that the injured person is safe and alive so that they can recover quickly after being treated by medical professionals.
