First Aid Program

摘要

Workplace accidents occur on many levels. They can be as minor as a simple skin abrasion to extreme severity such as loss of limb or life. In any given situation, in any given location, accidents can and will happen. The primary step in first aid is prevention. Whenever possible, dangers should be minimized or eliminated. OSHA 1910.151 mandates that "in the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace which is used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately trained to render first aid. Adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available." It is imperative that the first aid trained personnel be willing to administer treatment when necessary.
