First aid is emergency care provided for injury or sudden illness before emergency medical treatment is available. The first-aid provider in the workplace is someone who is trained in the delivery of initial medical emergency procedures, using a limited amount of equipment to perform a primary assessment and intervention while awaiting arrival of emergency medical service (EMS) personnel. A workplace first-aid program is part of a comprehensive safety and health management system that includes the following four essential elements: 1) Management Leadership and Employee Involvement, 2) Worksite Analysis, 3) Hazard Prevention and Control, 4) Safety and Health Training. The purpose of this guide is to present a summary of the basic elements for a first-aid program at the workplace. Those elements include: a) Identifying and assessing the workplace risks that have potential to cause worker injury or illness; b) Designing and implementing a workplace first-aid program that: Aims to minimize the outcome of accidents or exposures, Complies with OSHA requirements relating to first aid, Includes sufficient quantities of appropriate and readily accessible first-aid supplies and first-aid equipment, such as bandages and automated external defibrillators, Assigns and trains first-aid providers who: receive first-aid training suitable to the specific workplace, receive periodic refresher courses on first-aid skills and knowledge; c) Instructing all workers about the first-aid program, including what workers should do if a coworker is injured or ill.
