First Aid Training And Supplies Are An Important Part of Safety Program

摘要

Accidents happen in the workplace. They happen despite exacting precautions. That's reality. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) expects businesses to strive for safety, even as they plan for mishaps. If a workplace accident occurs, OSHA wants assurances that employees can assist their stricken co-workers. Rapid response to an incident that injures an employee (e.g., workplace accident) or threatens an employee (e.g., sudden illness, poisoning) constitutes first aid. Theconcept of first aid is not new, and most of us learned the basic check list in primary school, Scouting or youth groups. The basics still apply.
