Use Available Resources and Equipment to Make the Casualty as Comfortable as Possible
You may be required to assist in a first aid situation by getting resources such as:
- First aid kit
- Blankets
- Mobile phone (to call for help)
- Torch
- Thermometer
- Ice pack
- Resuscitation mask or pocket face mask
- Space blanket
- Extra bandages
- Spacer device
- Gloves
If you do need to assist by accessing any of these items, prepare yourself by becoming familiar with where these items are kept in the workplace. This will save time and speed up the first aid response, help to promote recovery and may prevent injuries from worsening.
