First Aid

First aid should not be overlooked in any workplace. It is limited care for an illness or injury until trained medical attention arrives. We commonly think of first aid as treating a cut or a burn, but it can be much more. First aid is about being properly prepared for any type of incident.

Employees encounter hazards daily. Hazards can include heavy machinery, tools, noises, chemicals, electricity, bloodborne diseases, and more. These hazards can lead to minor injuries, but can also result in death.
Properly training your employees in first aid can have many benefits. These benefits can be summed up in three points: preserving life, preventing further injury, and promoting recovery. Trained employees can also assist emergency responders by providing information regarding the location of a victim, possible hazards in the area, and the nature of the injury or illness.

Our First Aid training program will help your employees learn the importance of first aid and how they could limit the severity of any injury.

OSHA requires businesses to have adequate first aid supplies readily available. Depending on the size of your facilities, you may need to have multiple first aid cabinets and supplies located throughout your building(s). Providing first aid cabinets and kits in various places throughout your facility can make them easy to access in the event of an incident. Every second saved by easy access to a kit or cabinet could make a difference in the severity of an injury.
