First Aid Preparedness
Choosing The Right Commercial Cleaner For Your Business
There are multiple things every worker should be aware of when it comes to providing first aid even if they are not one of the employees directly responsible for responding to injuries. Some key points every worker should be aware of:
- Understand what is expected if you come upon an injured worker. (Discuss your company’s policies/procedures)
- Understand what actions you would need to take if you are injured yourself.
- Know who to call and how you can reach them in every type of emergency. (Radio/ phone/ voice, etc.)
- Ensure you know a secondary person to contact in case the primary contact is not around.
- Ensure you can explain your location when you call for help so assistance is not delayed.
- Know where emergency equipment is in your work area.
