Know the first thing about first aid

Article Abstract:

Increasing employee accidents underscore the need for first aid equipment in the workplace. The acquisition of first aid equipment for occupational safety entails a careful assessment of the needs of a facility to determine the facility's physical characteristics, the size and tasks of the workforce and the probable risks involved. A good working relationship with a sales representative can ensure the purchase and restocking of the proper supplies. Meanwhile, medical personnel or properly trained employees will ensure that first aid is properly administered during emergencies.

Know your first aid kit

Article Abstract:

A revised ANSI Z308 standard for workplace first aid kits may help solve the problem concerning the content of first aid kits. According to it, the kit should include an absorbent compress, adhesive bandages, adhesive tape, antiseptic burn treatment, medical exam gloves, sterile pad, and a triangular bandage. The ANSI also classified the kits into three types: type 1, for stationary use in indoor settings; type 2, for portable use in indoor settings; and type 3, for portable use in mobile industries and/or outdoor settings.

How fit is your first-aid kit? 20 items to keep on hand

Article Abstract:

A common conception of first-aid treatment is that it usually applies to life-threatening situations. However, minor injuries occur once in a while and these situations also require first-aid treatment. Thus, it is imperative to have a well-stocked first-aid kit that can be conveniently accessed when needed. A basic household first-aid kit should contain 20 items such as tweezers, safety pins, mouth-to-barrier devices and elastic roller bandages.
