Make sure you are up to date on your Tetanus shot.

Major Wounds

Apply constant pressure to a severely bleeding wound using a sterile dressing (if possible). Call 9-1-1. Until professional help arrives, hold a constant pressure on the wound for at least twenty minutes. Do not press directly on the wound if there is a foreign object in the wound, such as glass, but apply pressure along the wound area. Do not move the affected limb if you suspect any broken bones or dislocations. With a splint (if possible) immobilize the affected area. As soon as possible, dress the wound with a sterile non-sticking material and stay with the victim until professional help arrives.

First Aid Safety Tips:

  • Contact a health professional immedicately for large or open wounds.
  • To close these wounds, surgical sutures may be required.
  • Frequently check for possible signs of infection (redness, swelling, persistent pain, fever or pus).
  • Keep a list of emergency numbers near all the phones in your home.
  • With your family members, review first aid procedures on a regular basis.
  • First aid kits should be kept well stocked in your home as well as your car and boat.

What is the purpose of pasting stickers on glass?

Safety Measures for Glass DoorsOther than mere decoration, stickers on a large glass (a door or a large window) will indicate that the glass is there and help prevent anyone from walking or bumping into it. Under some lighting conditions, it is nearly impossible to see transparent window glass. This is one reason why sliding glass doors are now made of safety glass, highly tempered glass, or plexiglass.
