FIRST AID It is the provision of initial care for an illness or injury. It is

usually performed by a non-expert person to a sick or injured person until definitive medical treatment can be accessed.

In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all job sites and workplaces to make available first aid equipment for use by injured employees

different jobs have different types of injuries and different first-aid requirements.

1. Preserve life - the overriding aim of all medical care, including first aid, is to save lives

2. Prevent further harm - also sometimes called prevent the condition from worsening,or danger of further injury, this covers both external factors, such as moving a patient away from any cause of harm, and applying first aid techniques to prevent worsening of the condition, such as applying pressure to stop a bleed becoming dangerous.

3. Promote recovery - first aid also involves trying to start the recovery process from the illness or injury, and in some cases might involve completing a

treatment, such as in the case of applying a plaster to a small wound

The Aims of first aid can be summarized in three key points:

TYPE OF FIRST AID EQUIPMENT

Scissors

Aspirin

Roller Bandage

Antibiotic Ointment packets (approx. 1g

Anticeptic wipes@ gauze

Adhesive Tape Jodine

Adhesive Bandage

APPLICATION OF FIRST AID EQUIPMENT

Glove Application~ wear it during works with body liquid or any chemicals

First aid equipments as earlier action tosafe the life

Triangular Bandage Application ~ to holdBroken arm bone

Anticeptic wipes @ gauze~ to clean up injured area

Bandage application ~ to stop bleeding

to avoid broken @ injured movement

IDENTIFY FIRST-AID EQUIPMENT

First-aid kit basics-first-aid kit contains emergency supplies and medication for unexpected minor illnesses or accidents. -It may also vary by region due to varying advice or legislation between governments ororganisations - Standard kits often come in durable plastic boxes, fabric pouches or in wall mounted cabinets.

HOME KIT:-A household first aid kit should include these items: Adhesive tape

Anesthetic spray (Bactine) or lotion (Calamine, Campho-Phenique) -- For itching rashes and insect bites

4" x 4" sterile gauze pads -- For covering and cleaning wounds, as a soft eye patch

2", 3", and 4" Ace bandages -- For wrapping sprained or strained joints, for wrapping gauze on to wounds, for wrapping on splints

Adhesive bandages (all sizes)

Exam gloves -- For infection protection, and can be made into ice packs if filled with water and frozen

Polysporin antibiotic cream -- To apply to simple wounds

Nonadhesive pads (Telfa) -- For covering wounds and burns

Pocket mask for CPR

Resealable oven bag -- As a container for contaminated articles, can become an ice pack

Safety pins (large and small) -- For splinter removal and for securing triangular bandage sling

Triangular bandage -- As a sling, towel, tourniquet

Tweezers -- For splinter or stinger or tick removal

TRAVEL KIT: Adhesive tape 4" x 4" sterile gauze pads Antacid -- For indigestion Antidiarrheal (Imodium, Pepto-Bismol, for

example) Antihistamine cream Antiseptic agent (small bottle liquid soap) --

For cleaning wounds and hands Aspirin -- For mild pain, heart attack Adhesive bandages (all sizes)

The Basic Rules Of First-aid

In general, the type of first aid facilities required in a workplace are determined by many factors, such as:

i. the type of industry concerned; for example, industries such as mining may have specific industry regulations detailing specialised instructions.

ii. the laws and regulation of the state or territory in which it is located .

iii. the type of hazards present in the workplace. iv. the number of employees in the workplace .v. the proximity to local services (doctors,

hospital,ambulance).vi. the number of different locations that the workplace

is spread over

Once the techniques are secured, first aiders can begin additional treatments, as required.

Burns and ScaLds

Burns, which can result in damage to tissues and loss of body fluids through the burn site.

FIRST DEGREE: Flush with cool running water, Apply moist dressings and bandage loosely.

SECOND DEGREE: Apply dry dressings and bandage loosely Do not use water as it may increase risk of shock.

Example of Burns and ScaLds

Bleeding:

Heavy bleeding, treated by applying pressure (manually and later with a pressure bandage) to

the wound site and elevating the limb if possible. Apply DIRECT PRESSURE on the wound. use a

dressing, if available. if a dressing is not available, use a rag, towel, piece of clothing or your hand alone.

Pressure should be used in applying the bandage. After the bandage is in place, it is important to check the pulse to make sure circulation is not interrupted.

Example Of Bleeding:

Shock(electrical shock):

The victim usually gets stuck to the source of the electricity, and it is important that you first separate him from the electrical source. 

Turn off the power supply switch and disconnect the plug. It's best to simply turn off the main power supply or pull out the fuse. Often, simply turning off the switch may not stop the flow of electricity.

Do NOT touch the victim with your bare hands, or the electric current will pass through you as well. 

Poisoning: Poisoning, which can occur by injection,

inhalation, absorption, or ingestion. Try and identify the poison if possible  Check for signs like burns around mouth,

breathing difficulty or vomiting  Induce vomiting if poison swallowed  In case of convulsions, protect the person

from self injury  If the vomit falls on the skin, wash it

thoroughly  Position the victim on the left till medical

help arrives

Proper Safety Methods of First-aid Equipment

. Burns and Scalds Apply dry dressings and bandage loosely Do not use

water as it may increase risk of shock.2. Bleedings Apply DIRECT PRESSURE on the wound. use a

dressing, if available. if a dressing is not available, use a rag, towel, piece of clothing or your hand alone.

3.Shock Turn off the power supply switch and disconnect the

plug. It's best to simply turn off the main power supply or pull out the fuse. Often, simply turning off the switch may not stop the flow of electricity. 

The steps of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation(CPR)

1. your hand on the victims bodies2. gave 15 times the pressure depth of 1.5 to 2

inches for adults3. after given the pressure to give 15, the second

blast (1 lap)4. gave 15 times more pressure and then the second

blast (2 rounds)5. after four rounds check the carotid pulse

6. continue with CPR (15 2 blast pressure) if no pulse

7. did so experts arrive

Investigate incidents, introduce yourself, check the level of awareness, move thebody, seek assistance

lay the victim and do the ABC audit and check the whole body

If not breathing, give two breath support should have no heart beat (pulse), continue with

CPR, check pulse 10 times after the blast, ready to perform chest compressions if no pulse

If the victim starts to breathe without help, put him in the recovery position

Check the breathing and pulse every 3 minutes
