Appendix B <br /> FIRST AID <br />. This section is designed to provide some first aid prnncnples whuch are easy to understand and <br /> administer. While performing normal work duties, it is quite likely that you, or some person <br /> YOU are working with or for, could become injured. It is important to know how to react to <br /> a given situation in order to minimize any further aggravation of the injury. <br /> The information contained here is not intended to take the place of formalized trailing, nor <br /> should it be used to. The most important point to remember is to do only those procedures <br /> that you have been taught to do, or are certified to do by some outside agency, and no mare! <br /> You should know how to contact the nearest fire department or emergency medical services <br /> at any of your,hob-sites, because most likely it will be you that workers, especially abatement <br /> workers, will come to for help in an emergency. <br /> It is also important that all injuries, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem at <br /> the time, should be reported to your supervisor as soon as possible. <br /> The subject matter in this section will be limited to the four following areas: <br /> 1) Bleeding <br /> 2) Breathing <br /> 3) Burns <br /> 4) Shock <br /> 5) Heat Exhaustion and Heatstroke <br /> The first step in the application of first aid is to call the EMS service or ambulance, or some <br /> other trained personnel immediately. If the victim is hurt badly, and you cannot leave, do <br /> whatever is necessary to get the attention of someone who can. <br /> CEMI strongly urges you to obtain first and certification through the American Red Cross or <br /> some other qualified training provider. <br /> 1).
