If something was to happen in an emergency would you know what to do
? If for example one of your work colleagues fell and hurt themselves would you know how to relieve pain? If some one burnt themselves would you panic or would you know what to do?
When you are running a company or are manager of a team of people these are all things that you should consider. However what you should consider more is how many people in your work place are first aid trained.
Although we can cover all the health and safety rules in the world, it is unfortunate but accidents do happen. As much as we try to be safety conscious and avoid accidents from happening at all costs there is nothing we can do to eradicate them completely.
What you need to do is ensure that you are being responsible and that you have enough first aid trained employees so that if something were to go wrong some one would know what to do. Although it is extreme, having some one that is first aid trained could mean the difference between life and death.
You should really look at ways and means of arranging first aid training for as many of your employees as possible. That way no matter what shifts people are on there are first aid people in attendance. Of course their skills may never be called upon but if you don't arrange it now then it could be too late.
The great thing about first aid training is that it really sets people up for life. So by arranging training for your employees you are really helping them. So it really is a win win situation for everyone involved. Why not have a look and see what first aid training courses are available for your local area and look at getting your employees trained up as soon as possible. Courses are relatively cheap and the benefit in the long run could be well worth it. Your employees can then go about their daily work knowing that they are safe, with the protection of some one first aid trained should their skills be needed.
