Deciding to Provide First Aid• Some people may be required to perform
First Aid while working• If they are off-duty, they can choose whether
or not to provide First Aid• Providing First Aid may be part of your job
description• Before you provide First Aid, it’s important
to ask the ill or injured person if you may help
![Page 5: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Supplying the First Aid Kit• Contains supplies you might need in an
emergency• Not all contain the same supplies• Keep the supplies in a sturdy, watertight
container that is clearly labeled• Know where the First Aid kit is• Replace what you use• Check it at the beginning of each work period
![Page 6: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Assessing the Scene• Look out for danger to you and the injured
person• Look for people who can help you and
look for telephones• Who’s injured?• Where are they?
![Page 7: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Exposure to Blood• Bloodborne diseases are caused by germs• A rescuer may catch a disease if germs in
someone else’s blood or body fluids enter the rescuer’s body
• Rescuers should wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep from touching the injured person’s blood or body fluids
![Page 8: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When to Phone for Help• Ask for help whenever:
– Someone is seriously ill or injured– You are not sure what to do
• Examples of someone who is seriously ill or injured:– Does not respond to voice or touch– Has chest discomfort– Has signs of stroke– Has a problem breathing

Finding the Problem• Check the scene to be sure it is safe• Tap the person and shout “Are you OK?”• Check if the person is breathing• Look for signs of injury such as bleeding,
broken bones, burns or bites• Look for medical information jewelry

fire, a hot surface, a hot liquid, or steam• If someone with a burn gets too cold, they
can get hypothermia
![Page 23: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

CPR and AED
![Page 34: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
New CPR Sequence
![Page 35: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Compressions• A compression is the act of pushing on the
chest• People often don’t push hard enough
because they’re afraid of hurting the victim• An injury is unlikely, but it is better than
death• It is better to push too hard than not hard
enough
![Page 36: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Give Breaths• Compressions are the most important part
of CPR• If you are also able to give breaths, you will
help even more• Your breaths need to make the chest rise• When the chest rises, you know the person
has taken in enough air
![Page 38: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Use an AED• If you start CPR and
then use an AED within a few minutes, you will have the best chance of saving a life
• AEDs are safe, accurate, and easy to use
![Page 41: “Improve the Safety of Your Workers by Training Them in First Aid CPR AED”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813c3d550346895da5bc3c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
AED Programs – Why?• 294,000 cases of EMS-treated out-of-
hospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) each year in the U.S.
• Less than one-third receive bystander CPR; even fewer receive bystander defibrillation
• Bystander CPR and time to defibrillation are key
