today we're going to talk about what you can do to prevent things from getting

worse maybe even save a life when someone is injured

no safety program is perfect not even one that includes personal protective

equipment

no matter what we do accidents can still happen

a sliver of metal embeds itself a nickel workers i

someone in the warehouse falls victim to the summer heat

a friend at lunch starch choking on a sandwich she can't bring

these types of situations occur every day and there are things you can do to

help

his any work environment there are hazards that need to be watching out for

for example say something gets in your eye

you should try pulling the upper lid away from the eyeball

they should cause the particle to drip down to the lower lid

and simply remove the intruder with a piece of sterile gauze or clean

handkerchief

and object that has invented itself within the i've needs to be treated

differently

just touching it could be getting deeper

instead calm the victim and gently place that paper cup over the injured eye

wrap up damage over both eyes

this will increase the likelihood of keeping injured on steel

remember both eyes move as a team whenever you look at something

then try and relax the victim until medical help arrives

if you haven't already guessed in order to use many of the first day techniques

you will see today

you must know where to find a first-aid kits in your work area

so if you don't know where they are pastor supervisor

let's look at some other common types of injuries

if you're working with short tools and materials and not paying attention to

something goes wrong you could end up with a nasty cut

first you need to stop the bleeding with direct pressure

then clean the wound with soap and water

give it time to drive and apply a sterile bandage

if the cut is particularly long or deep or if after a few days it's still sore

see a doctor

if you were cut by a rosty object you should see a doctor immediately to

determine if you need attacking shot

too much friction between your hand in the tools that you used to often lead to

blisters

when treating a blister leave the skin unbroken and avoid putting any further

pressure on it

if the blister breaks clear immediately in applying sterile bandage

burns can occur when we least expect them and even minor burns can hurt like

crazy

here we should turn to cool clean water for help

serve the injury or apply ice don't try to clean the affected skin and don't

break any blisters this will just caused more damage

cover the burn with a sterile dressing never applied ordnance horse afs unless

a medical professional tells you to most of these coatings can actually make

things worse

but water should never be applied a few seats open blisters or actual charm

instead cover the area with a loose compress and get medical help

chemical burns can be especially dangerous since the substance can keep

affecting you until it's removed

in these situations you need to get a running water as quickly as possible

normally a sink or safety shower depending on how much of your body has

been exposed

keep the affected area in the water for at least fifteen minutes then see a

doctor king me deeply

the hazardous chemical gets in your eyes

flush them directly with whitewater and apply what station also for fifteen

minutes

seek medical attention
