How do you handle emergency situation in industry?

Answer 1

First of Assess the situation for potential dangers to yourself. Your no help if you end up endangering yourself so always look about to make sure there is no danger. Try to get a trained first aid person to help you most if not all companies should have one or two first aid people or try to have someone with you and tell them to call an ambulance if needed. Check to see if the victim is conscious or unconscious. If unconscious check for the ABC, Airways, Breathing, Circulation is the victim breathing OK. Place them into the recovery position if breathing and make sure the airways are clear. If not breathing start resuscitation by giving 2 short breaths covering the victims nostrils with thumb and finger and place the heel of a hand above the lowest part of the victim's ribcage where it meets the middle-abdomen. The other hand will be placed over the heel of the first hand, with fingers interlocked. Keeping the elbows straight, the rescuer will lean his or her shoulders over the hands and press down firmly about 15 times. It is best to develop an up-and-down rhythm, keeping the hands firmly on the victim's chest. Repeat this until paramedics arrive. Or if the victim then begins to breath on there own then place them into the recovery position which isdone by straightening the victim's legs and pulling the closest arm out away from the body with the elbow at a right angle or 3 o'clock position, and the other arm across the chest. The far leg should be pulled up over the victim's body with the hip and knee bent. This allows the victim's body to be rolled onto its side. The head should be tilted back slightly to keep the windpipe open. The head should not be propped up. Hope this answers your question. Or hopefully the emergency your dealing with maybe only requires a plaster or bandage. Id also say always keep talking to the person keep reassuring them that everything is OK and they will be alright without sounding insincere like talking to them like there a child. Talk to them even if they are unconscious. It will surprise you how much they hear even if there no conscious.
