Description

Workplace injuries occur in every occupational setting. Employees face hazards on a daily basis which could cause harm to them or fellow employees. Additionally, employees can be injured due to accidents and health related problems. Even when all possible precautions are taken to prevent workplace accidents and injuries, there is still the chance they could occur. Employees need to be prepared and know the steps to take when an accident or injury occurs. Knowing the correct procedures to follow could minimize the injury and even save a life.

First aid is limited care for an illness or injury. Many times first aid is administered until trained medical attention can arrive. While not all injuries require higher levels of treatment, some injuries require immediate trained medical attention. Most first aid consists of simple steps and procedures which can be performed with minimum training.
