Get medical attention for ALL injuries
It is very important for you to get immediate
treatment for every injury, regardless how small you may
think it is. Many cases have been reported where a small
unimportant injury, such as a splinter wound or a puncture
wound, quickly led to an infection, threatening the health
and limb of the employee. |
Even the smallest scratch is large enough for dangerous
germs to enter, and in large bruises or deep cuts, germs
come in by the millions. Immediate examination and treatment
is necessary for every injury.
What is first aid? It is simply those things you can do
for the victim before medical help arrives. |

Remember: Move the injured person ONLY when absolutely
necessary
Never move an injured person unless there is a fire or when
explosives are involved. The major concern with moving an
injured person is making the injury worse, which is especially
true with spinal cord injuries. If you must move an injured
person, try to drag him or her by the clothing around the
neck or shoulder area. If possible, drag the person onto a
blanket or large cloth and then drag the blanket.
Here comes a list of essential first aids, make sure you read
it before you need it !
