FIRST AID TRAINING

Each Employee(s) will receive training and instructions from his or her supervisor on our first aid procedures. PROCEDURES SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN AN EMERGENCY. ALWAYS CALL 911!

WOUNDS:

Minor: Cuts, lacerations, abrasions, or punctures-

Wash the wound using soap and water; rinse it well.

Stop the bleeding by pressing directly on the wound, using a bandage or cloth.
Keep pressure on the wound until medical help arrives.
