It is the provision of initial care for an illness or injury.


It is usually performed by a non-expert person to a
sick or injured person until definitive
medical treatment can be accessed.
In the United States, the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requires all job sites and workplaces to
make available first aid equipment for use by
injured employees

Burns, which can result in damage to


tissues and loss of body fluids through the
burn site.
FIRST DEGREE: Flush with cool running
water, Apply moist dressings and bandage
loosely.
SECOND DEGREE: Apply dry dressings
and bandage loosely Do not use water as
it may increase risk of shock.

Example of Burns and ScaLds

Bleeding:

Heavy bleeding, treated by applying pressure


(manually and later with a pressure bandage) to
the wound site and elevating the limb if possible.
Apply DIRECT PRESSURE on the wound. use a
dressing, if available. if a dressing is not
available, use a rag, towel, piece of clothing or
your hand alone.
Pressure should be used in applying the
bandage. After the bandage is in place, it is
important to check the pulse to make sure
circulation is not interrupted.

Example Of Bleeding:

Shock(electrical shock):

The victim usually gets stuck to the source of the


electricity, and it is important that you first
separate him from theelectricalsource.

Turn off the power supply switch and disconnect


the plug. It's best to simply turn off the main
power supply or pull out the fuse. Often, simply
turning off the switch may not stop the flow of
electricity.

Do NOT touch the victim with your bare hands, or


the electric current will pass through you as
well.
