First Aid

First aid is about what you can do in the case of an emergency before immediate medical help arrives. It may mean the difference between life and death. Knowing the correct thing to do for minor accidents is also important.

Would you know what to do if someone in the workshop got an electric shock or at home if a young brother or sister choked on a toy?

I hope you will never be involved in a car accident, but would you know what to do to help others who were injured? In the workplace, safety has a high priority, but it is impossible to eliminate all accidents. Would you know what to do if an accident occurred when you were working in a factory, hospital or on a building site? Accidents always happen unexpectedly. Be prepared! Know your first aid!
