Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations require that employers provide first aid training and supplies to ensure that employees have a safe and healthy workplace. To comply, some workplaces have acquired portable oxygen devices as part of their first aid supplies, and have completed nationally promoted oxygen training classes. However, as there has been no objective national curriculum for first aid courses or for oxygen training, course content varies. This paper reviews a newly proposed curriculum, and describes how national oxygen training courses and first aid programs can integrate mechanical, safe handling, and emergency care objectives into their courses. Recommendations for programs which appropriately describe first aid procedures and the control of hazards associated with use of oxygen equipment by first aiders are provided.

This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OSHA 3317-06N. First aid is emergency care provided for injury or sudden illness before emergency medical treatment is available. The first-aid provider in the workplace is someone who is trained in the delivery of initial medical emergency procedures, using a limited amount of equipment to perform a primary assessment and intervention while awaiting arrival of emergency medical service (EMS) personnel. A workplace first-aid program is part of a comprehensive safety and health management system that includes the following four essential elements: management leadership and employee involvement, worksite analysis, hazard prevention and control, safety and training. The purpose of this guide, Best Practices Guide: Fundamentals of a Workplace First-Aid Program, is to present a summary of the basic elements for a first-aid program at the workplace. Those elements include: identifying and assessing the workplace risks that have potential to cause worker injury or illness; designing and implementing a workplace first-aid program that: aim to minimize the outcome of accidents or exposures; complies with OSHA requirements relating to first aid; includes sufficient quantities of appropriate and readily accessible first-aid supplies and first-aid equipment, such as bandages and automated external defibrillators; assigns and trains first-aid providers who: receive first-aid training suitable to the specific workplace, receive periodic refresher courses on first-aid skills and knowledge; instructing all workers about the first-aid program, including what workers should do if a coworker is injured or ill. Putting the policies and program in writing is recommended to implement this and other program elements; and providing for scheduled evaluation and changing of the first-aid program to keep the program current and applicable to emerging risks in the workplace, including regular assessment of the adequacy of the first-aid training course. This guide includes an outline of the essential elements of safe and effective first-aid training for the workplace as guidance to institutions teaching first-aid courses and to the consumer of these courses.

Download or read book CPR AED for the Professional Rescuer written by American Red Cross and published by Staywell (CA). This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This New American Red Cros CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer Participant's Manual and course reflect changes based on the 2005 Consensus on Science for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and the Guidelines 2005 for First Aid. Changes to this program and manual include simplifications to many of the CPR skill sequences, which helps improve retention. There have also been changes to help improve the quality of CPR. The integration of CPR skills into the operation of AEDs had changed to help improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest. Professional rescuers are now trained to use AEDs on adults and children. Information has been updated and added to this program to help professional rescuers administer epinephrine, aspirin and fixed-flow-rate oxygen. The skills learned in this course include adult, child and infant rescue breathing, conscious and unconscious choking, CPR, two-rescuer CPR and adult and child AED. Additional training can be added to this course including bloodborne pathogens training and emergency oxygen administration. While the skills and knowledge that professional rescuers use are increasing, this training will help you meet your most important responsibility as a professional rescuer- the responsibility to save lives.
