The time to unearth potential problems in your current workplace first aid arrangements is right now—before a medical emergency does it for you. Although first aid requirements can vary - there are FIVE sets of documents to focus on when conducting an audit of your first aid program.
Don’t take chances when it comes to icy surfaces. Ice on walking and working surfaces can cause serious slip, trip, and fall hazards which can lead to disabling injuries, major concussions, and loss of life. Avoid these icy hazards by ensuring procedures are in place and enforced for the safe removal of ice on these seven surfaces.
A first aid program is required for most employers in the U.S. and Canada. The program should be based on the hazards, risks, and proximity to medical services of an individual site, however there are several elements that every program should include.
A human heart can cease beating within 4 minutes after breathing stops. Permanent brain damage can occur within 4 to 6 minutes after breathing stops. Average ambulance response time is 8 to 12 minutes.
Training your first aid attendants and first responders is a required part of every first aid program. But do you know what exactly should be covered or what training methods to use? Hazards are present at all worksites, from offices to mines. So too are the chances of injuries and illnesses. Sudden cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, shock, a near-drowning, or lack of oxygen during confined space work are all life-threatening emergencies. Without prompt and properly performed first aid a victim of any of these situations will very likely die or be permanently disabled while waiting for emergency services to arrive and begin care.
Stress – everyone has it. It is a natural part of life, but too much stress can cause health problems and can affect your ability to work safely. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to disconnect and unwind in our 24/7/365 world of news, noise, and responsibilities.
March 27th, 2019 | One of the most powerful protections for employees under the Occupational Health and Safety Act is the right to refuse unsafe work. While the right to refuse unsafe work has proven to be an essential element of safeguarding workplace safety, it has also been improperly used as a tool for other, non-safety related ends by employees and organized labour. Employers must navigate these treacherous waters, ensuring that legitimate work refusals are dealt with appropriately, while preventing abuse of this significant power.
