Say this
- Our first-aiders' names are on the notice board. Workplaces with more than 25 workers need one trained first-aider for every 100, on every shift (WSH (First-Aid) Regulations).
- Each floor must have a first-aid box in a well-lit spot that is easy to reach. Tell me if you use something so we can restock it.
- Make the area safe, then call for help. Call 995 for unconsciousness, breathing problems, chest pain, heavy bleeding, falls from height or crush injuries (MOM emergency response advisory).
- If the person does not respond and is not breathing normally, start CPR. Push hard and fast in the centre of the chest.
- Send someone for the AED while you start CPR. Switch it on and follow the voice prompts.
- Do not move an injured worker unless they are in danger where they lie.
- Stay with them and talk to them until the paramedics take over.
Ask the crew
- Who are the first-aiders on this shift?
- Where is the AED kept?
- Name two injuries that mean you call 995 straight away.
- What do you do if someone is not breathing normally?
Show them
- The first-aid box and what is inside.
- The AED cabinet, and how to open the AED and switch it on.
- The myResponder app, which shows AEDs nearby and sends your location to SCDF when you call 995.
