UNIT 1 | PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SURVEYS

We explore First Aid in the workplace. If at all possible, workplace hazards should be noted and fixed before emergencies occur. Respond quickly but cautiously if an emergency does occur, ensuring your own personal safety at all times. Commence a primary survey by checking the danger of the situation. Then proceed to examine the airways, breathing and circulation (ABC) of the victim. If CPR is not required, proceed to a secondary survey of non-life threatening injuries.

Respiratory emergencies include breathing difficulties, choking, suffocation and asthma attacks. It is important to know the indicators and treatments for each emergency. The same is the case in cardiac emergencies such as heart attacks and cases of bleeding.

UNIT 2 | LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCIES

In this section we explain how to react to the life-threatening emergencies. These include, respiratory emergencies, cardiac emergencies and traumatic injuries from a workplace incident.
