    TBT-006 First Aid

    Basic First Aid may save a life: Direct Questions to the workforce:

    1. Do you know how to resuscitate and start the heart?


    2. Do you know how to stop major bleeding?
    3. Do you know how to treat scolds, burns and shock?

    If they do not, you need to enquire about getting First Aid training!

    Other considerations:

    1. First Aid cover must include all shifts and holiday cover
    2. Someone must have responsibility for restocking and checking the First Aid supplies
    3. The First Aid supplies provided must be appropriate for the nature of the work and
    the number of employees
    4. First Aiders should be easy to identify – sticker on the helmet (check if this is the
    case)

    Now inform the workforce on the company provision for first aiders and first aid
    kits, actions to be taken in the event of an emergency and the emergency contact
    numbers

    Now ask the workforce if they have any questions for you regarding the TBT and
    ask a few questions to them to ensure they have understood it.

    Question: What should you know before an emergency arises?

    Answer: First section 1-4

    Question: What are the priorities of First Aid?

    Answer: The priorities of First Aid are to save life, prevent the casualty’s condition from
    getting worse and to evacuate to medical help as soon as possible

    Now close the TBT with the statement:

    “If you know first aid you could save a life”
