First aid may include cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, or scrapes; treating a minor burn; the application of bandages and dressings; the use of non-prescription medications; drainage of blisters; removing debris from the eyes; the massage; and ingesting fluids to relieve heat stress.
OSHA's revised recordkeeping rule, which went into effect January 1, 2002, does not require first aid cases to be documented. For example: A worker goes to the first aid room and a registered nurse applies a bandage to a minor cut. Although the registered nurse is a health care professional, the employer does not have to report the accident because the worker simply received first aid. The selected references below provide more information on first aid.
Basic first aid
These measures do not replace medical care in any way. Don't forget to ask for help.
– Hemorrhage or bleeding: Press the wound with gauze or a clean cloth. The heavier the bleeding, the harder you should press. If medical care is delayed, apply antiseptic to prevent infection.
– Fainting: Check if the person is breathing. Take her to a ventilated place, loosen her clothing and, if she has no injuries to her chest, head or legs, lift these last. Massage his neck and chest with a little alcohol without bringing the liquid close to his airway. Once the person regains consciousness, warm them with a blanket or blanket.
– Seizures: Remove clothing or any element that prevents the affected person from breathing. Avoid hitting him, turn his head to the right or left so he doesn't choke if he vomits or foams, and don't put your hands in his mouth. Wait until the seizure is over before cleaning the person and covering them with a blanket.
– Choking or drowning: The most effective thing is to apply the Heimlich maneuver; Don't hit the person on the back. Stand behind her (so that she has her back turned to you) and place your hands on her stomach, one of them fisted and the other covering her tightly. Press several times above the stomach and below the ribs until the object is expelled.
–Burns: If the burn is superficial and there are no blisters, wash it with water. If it is very deep or there are blisters, cover it with gauze or a clean cloth while the person receives medical care. Do not apply oils, toothpaste or any other element.
Fractures: prevents the injured person from moving. Immobilize the fracture with boards, cardboard or strips. If there is also bleeding, cover the area with gauze or a clean cloth.
