How to Provide First Aid (Real Examples)31 Dec

Example 1

You never know how to react when an accident happens, especially if you are alone. When X was trying to wrap a pallet of stock with cellophane, an accident occurred. Usually, pallets and other big warehouse items are not packed like a post package. Some of them are not so robustly assembled, and if you do not pay attention, anything can happen. X was just finishing the wrap when a rogue nail that was sticking out of the wood injured his palm.

His reaction was to pull the hand back, but the rogue nail had injured the palm even more, plenty of blood was pouring out of it, the first thing he did was to stem the blood flow with some clean tissues. This was the best reaction to stop the bleeding. After he calmed down, he asked for help and announced the supervisor. Never lose your calm when you injure yourself at work; if you are alone, try to apply the basic first aid then ask for help.
