Workplace First-aid Guidelines based on HSE UK Guidelines

Q1: What is first-aid at work?

ANSWER: People at work can suffer injuries or be taken ill. It doesn’t matter whether the injury or illness is caused by the work they do or not, it is important to give them immediate attention and call an ambulance in serious cases. First aid at work covers the arrangements you should make to ensure this happens. It can save lives and prevent minor injuries becoming major ones.

Q2: What do I need to do?

ANSWER: The safety regulations require you to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities and people so your employees can be given immediate help if they are injured or taken ill at work. What is ‘adequate and appropriate’ will depend on the circumstances in your workplace and you should assess what your first-aid needs are (see Q3).

The minimum first-aid provision on any work site is:

A suitably stocked first-aid box (see Q4);

An appointed person to take charge of first-aid arrangements (see Q5);

Information for employees about first-aid arrangements (see Q7).

It is important to remember that accidents and illness can happen at any time. First-aid provision needs to be available at all times people are at work.

3-important steps: First-aid box, an appointed person and information



Q3: What should I consider when assessing first-aid needs?

ANSWER: Some small workplaces may only need the minimum provision. But, there are factors that might mean you need greater provision.

Hazards

1. Offices and Shops with low level hazards:

o Suitably stocked first-aid box

o One person trained to take charge of first-aid needs.

o Contact numbers of emergency services

2. Factories & Godowns with high level hazards like machinery or chemicals will need the following:

o Suitably stocked first-aid boxes

o Additional first-aid equipment

o Special training for first-aiders to tackle injuries caused by special hazards

o Prominent information about location of first-aid boxes

o First-aid room and contact numbers of emergency services


# of Employees

1. Less than 20

o Suitably stocked first-aid box

o One person trained to take charge of first-aid needs.

o Contact numbers of emergency services

2. Large number of employees

o Suitably stocked first-aid boxes (1 per 30)

o Additional first-aid equipment

o Special training for first-aiders (1 per 50) to tackle injuries

o Prominent information about location of first-aid boxes

o First-aid room and contact numbers of emergency services

Special Considerations

1. Multiple floors

o Have first-aid kits in each floor

2. Frequent travel

o Consider issuing personal or vehicle first-aid kits

o Train them in basic first aid


Consider These: Harzard Levels, No. of People and Training

Q4: What should I put in the first-aid box?

ANSWER: There is no mandatory list of items to put in a first-aid box. It depends on what you

assess your needs to be. As a guide, where work activities involve low hazards, a minimum stock of first-aid items might be:

A leaflet giving general guidance on first aid

20 individually wrapped sterile plasters (assorted sizes)

Two individually wrapped triangular bandages, preferably sterile; six safety pins;

two large, individually wrapped, sterile, unmedicated wound dressings;

Four medium-sized, individually wrapped, sterile, unmedicated wound dressings;

A pair of disposable gloves to prevent accidental infections

A CPR mask for mouth to mouth breathing in case of sudden cardiac arrest

An eye care kit, A fracture kit

This is a suggested contents list only.

It is recommended that you don’t keep tablets and medicines in the first-aid box.


Q5: Who is an appointed person?

ANSWER: If you decide you don’t need a first-aider in your workplace, you should appoint someone to take charge of first-aid arrangements. The role of this appointed person includes looking after first-aid equipment and facilities and calling the emergency services when required. Appointed persons do not need first-aid training.

Q6: Who is a first-aider?

ANSWER: A first-aider is someone who has undertaken CPR and First-Aid training. To help keep their basic skills up to date, it is strongly recommended that your firstaiders undertake annual refresher training. There is no hard and fast rule about how many firstaiders you need.

Normally 1 per 50 employees should be enough for large organizations.

Q7: How will my employees know about first-aid arrangements?

ANSWER: You have to inform your employees of the first-aid arrangements. Putting up notices telling staff who and where the first-aiders or appointed persons are and where the first-aid box is will usually be enough. You will need to make special arrangements to give first-aid information to employees with reading or language difficulties.

LIFE PAK CR PLUS-AED:

5 minutes to save a life

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) kills more than 6,00,000 (6 lakh) people every year. Survival rate for SCA is less than 5%. However, if someone receives defibrillation within 5 minutes their survival rate goes up to more than 50%. If your organization has more than 100 people or if you are one of the key members of the top management, you should consider procuring an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) for your workplace and/or home.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. When this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. SCA usually causes death if it's not treated within minutes. Sudden Cardiac Arrest is NOT a heart attack. The heart has an internal electrical system that controls the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. Problems with the electrical system can cause abnormal heart rhythms that lead to SCA. Most SCAs happen in people who appear healthy and have no known heart disease or other risk factors for SCA.

Ninety-five percent of people who have SCA die from it—most within minutes. Rapid treatment of SCA with a

defibrillator can be lifesaving. A defibrillator is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart to try to restore its normal rhythm. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which often are found in public places like airports and office buildings, can be used by bystanders to save the lives of people who are having SCA. Ordinary people and youngsters can easily operate an AED with minimal training.
