Textbook of First Aid

At every stage of your life Wherever you go or work, if an accident happens in your workplace, you don’t want to become a helpless witness. That’s why it’s crucial to have at least a basic knowledge of first aid and have access to essential first aid supplies so you can deal with any potential accidents in a controlled and measured manner. An early response can increase the likelihood of a favourable outcome in an emergency. It is important to help the victim as much as possible, but early notification to the proper medical professionals in your community will ensure the best outcome for any victim. Remember to always ensure scene safety and call emergency, when necessary, before assisting a victim. First Aid skills can be applied in the home, the workplace or in public locations, therefore the more First Aid-certified people there are in a community the safer that community becomes. This book provides basic information on First Aid, the basics of managing emergency situations and about their First aid. I hope the content of the book will provide clarity in concepts to students.
