Some Basic First Aid Points are mentioned in this PDF - which can be used to provide a Basic Life support untill medical team arrives Safety professionals must need to know what kind of FirstAid needed for Injured Persons and need to used their presence of mind while unforeseen situation arrives Now Let's ask a Question - What is fullform of DRABCD ?? Whoever Knows share 😉 #FirstAid #BasicLifeSupport #CPR #DRABCD #Health&safety #EHS #HSE

In my previous post, we discussed about First Aid Case can also become Restricted Work or Lost Time Injury, https://lnkd.in/gUuna4zQ But what about Medical Treatment Case? is it automatically become RWI or LTI? and of course you know the answer is... depends.. Case : After an accident, an employee is diagnosed with closed fracture of right index finger, and treated with rigid splint. Based on the SEVERITY, this is considered as Medical Treatment case. But to classify based on the WORK IMPACT , we need to see the Job Specification of the employee. It could be : Return To Work (RTW) : if the employee can return to their job and perform most of their duties immediately after treatment. For example, a safety inspector, customer service, social media streamer, which jobs description are not heavily stressing the injured area. Restricted Work Injury (RWI) : that allows the employee to work with restrictions or modified duties due to the injury. For example, machine operator, driver, typist. They can still work, but need adjustment and the injury will most likely limit them to go back to their previous tasks. Lost Time Injury (LTI) : resulting in an employee being unable to work for one or more shifts due to severity. Examples of jobs are are surgeon, pianist, guitarist, dentist, and other jobs that rely heavily on the injured area, and otherwise needs it to be completely recovered before they are able to return to work. The Conclusion, do not confuse the injury classification by Severity of Treatment and Classification by Absence or Work Impact. Also consider the scope of work of the worker. Same injury can result in different work impact classification. Your thoughts and expertise would be very much appreciated !

Can First Aid case become Lost Time Injury (LTI): Injuries resulting in one or more missed workdays (OSHA)? Yes it can ! Minor injuries/ first aid case can occasionally lead to Lost Time Injuries (LTI) if the employee needs a full recovery period before returning to work. Some examples include: 1. Sprains and Strains: A minor muscle strain, such as a pulled back muscle, may not seem severe but could require days away from work if it impairs movement or tasks. These cases might involve rest or limited activities before returning. 2. Minor Cuts Requiring Stitches: A small laceration might be minor in severity but could lead to an LTI if stitches are required and the employee is unable to perform certain tasks, such as lifting or operating machinery, while healing. 3. Minor Burns: Superficial burns (e.g., first-degree burns) might seem minor, but if they’re on parts of the body like hands or feet, they could prevent the employee from effectively performing certain tasks, leading to time off. 4. Eye Irritations: An eye irritation caused by dust or chemicals can prevent an employee from seeing clearly or comfortably and might necessitate a recovery period before resuming regular duties. Could you give more examples? So we should not confuse between: Classification by Severity of Treatment : which are FAC, MT and Fatality, and Classification by Absence or Work Impact: : which are RWI, LTI and Fatality Please enrich us with your thoughts and experience

First aid in the workplace is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of employees. In emergencies, immediate medical assistance can make a significant difference in saving lives and preventing further injuries. Trained employees can provide prompt care until professional help arrives, reducing the severity of accidents and promoting a faster recovery. Additionally, first aid training instills confidence and preparedness in handling unexpected situations, creating a safer and more secure work environment for everyone. #suneng #stjohn #advancefirstaidtraining

LEARN ● EARN ● SHARE Info#16-HSE- Did You Know?  First Aid Cases Are Not Considered Reportable Incidents Under OSHA A first aid case is not considered a reportable incident under OSHA standards. OSHA distinguishes between recordable and non-recordable incidents based on the severity of the case: First Aid Cases: Incidents that require only basic first aid treatment (e.g., cleaning minor cuts, applying a bandage, using non-prescription medications at non-prescription strength) are not reportable Reportable/Recordable Cases: Incidents that require more significant medical treatment beyond first aid, such as sutures, prescription medication, physical therapy, or other forms of medical treatment, are recordable. Reference: OSHA's regulation 29 CFR 1904.39
