Should employees be trained in First Aid?

I believe a training in basic first aid would definitely help especially for the employees that are working in an hazardous environment.
It would definitely be nice to have that skill .
As a nurse I think you should know much better about the topic and you should enlighten us more on how to use the first aid tools because that's your area of specialisation.

Hello gorgeous, I am not a nurse actually , I am a health practitioner though(a Radiographer).
Basic first aids are given to injured and unconscious persons before getting or reaching a medical attention.
This includes CPR, applying pressure to reduce blood loss in wounds and so much more
 
A company that take it as a point of duty to take care of the employee will always grow.
There's no two ways to this because the employees are the major contributor to the development of the business.

The main issue is that there are many companies that do not care about employees because they know that they will be able to hire other people as they will be able to find people because unemployment is at its peak right now.

Thank you for the incisive information you have provided.
The first aid is a very important tools that is used to administer treatment before the arrival of the medical personnel.
 
When employees go through first aid training, they become much more aware about the safety and can spot hazards and potential incidents before they occur. By acting correctly in an efficient manner, first aid and CPR trained employees are able to save the precious life of their co-workers.

I think that you have made a valid point regarding CPR training. Getting trained to perform CPR could save the lives of people in case they suffer from heart issues at work.

It is only necessary for an organisation to have the first aid equipment placed.
It is for the safety of the employees and all other people that are very close to the company.
 
All employees should undergo some form of training on first aid in an organization. This is because accidents are bound to happen at anytime and you might never know the person that will be involved in it.
Probably, training employees in first aid should be made compulsory in business ventures. This is because accidents can happen at any time and if the workers have experience about first aid they can save lives.

Well as a business owner that doesn't train his employees on the side of first aid, then he is ready to hire someone who will be there for them in terms of emergency but there are alot of government regulations on that.

I do not understand the reason why some by organisations would not have first aid equipment installed in their company.
It is definitely for the safety of the employees, as you have pointed out.
it is a very essential tool to have in the company.
 
All employees of a company should be trained on first aid instead of training a particular person. If one person is trained on first aid and something happens and that person stops coming to work, it will have a very negative effect on the company if anything that require first aid should occur.

First aid is something that every single person should know how to conduct and it should not even be a particular group of people because you never can tell what is going to happen.

It is absolutely important for the companies to have the first aid equipment placed everywhere in the premises of the company and it is the duty of the government to oversee such activities and to compel them to have the first aid equipment compulsorily.

A member in here raised a really good point about CPR training. CPR training is a crucial thing because so many people are experiencing heart attacks nowadays.

I think that is actually a very good suggestion. People do not need to be medical professionals in order to learn certain things like that. these are some of the things that the company should take as a priority to teach their workers.
 
may be, It is an understood fact that workplace safety, especially concerning workers’ health, their safe working environment, and occupational hazards, is mandatory with strict legal compliance norms. This is valid for any business, irrespective of its type or location, in the. These safety norms, if not followed, can be treated as a severe offence.
These are things that most organisation usually take for granted,because in every organisation there need to be an adequate training of personel on the intervention of first aid before help comes from the doctor.

I don't think any serious business organisation will take first aid for granted. It is always one of the first things new employees are being taught.

That is true about any serious organisation,in every outfit you the employees and the new intake are suppose to know how to carryout basic first aid support before the attention of a medical personel would be needed.

Probably, the importance of first aid cannot be underestimated. If there is any accident in a business environment the workers can easily carry out first aid before medical treatment.
 
Every single employee is supposed to be briefed on the things that they are supposed to do whenever there is an emergency especially if the workplace is exposing them to that..
