First Aid at Work
It is the first care given to casualties before treatment by medical personnel can be made available.

People at work can suffer injuries or be taken ill. It doesn’t matter whether the injury or illness is caused by the work they do or not, it is important to give them immediate attention and call an ambulance in serious cases. First aid at work covers the arrangements you should make to ensure this happens. It can save lives and prevent minor injuries becoming major ones.
Objective of first aid
- To stop bleeding
- Overcome shock
- Relieve pain
- Prevent infection
What should I put in the first-aid box?
There is no mandatory list of items to put in a first-aid box. It depends on what you assess your needs to be. As a guide, where work activities involve low hazards, a minimum stock of first-aid items might be:
Individually wrapped sterile plasters (assorted sizes), appropriate to the type of work (you can provide hypoallergenic plasters, if necessary);
- Two sterile eye pads;
Four individually wrapped triangular bandages, preferably sterile;
- Six safety pins;
- Two large, individually wrapped, sterile, unmediated
wound dressings; - Six medium-sized, individually wrapped, sterile,
unmediated wound dressings; - ) A pair of disposable gloves
What are the signs and symptoms of heat cramps?
- Cramping in the extremities (arms and legs)
- Abdominal Cramps (stomach)
- Excessive Sweating
What is the treatment for heat cramps?
- . Move the casualty to a cool, shady area or improvise shade if
none is available. - Loosen his clothing (if not in a chemical environment)
In a chemical environment, transport the heat casualty to a non-contaminated area as soon as the mission permits.
Have him slowly drink at least one canteen full of water. (The body absorbs cool water faster than warm or cold water; therefore, cool water is preferred if it is available.)
- Seek medical assistance should cramps continue.
