Even after taking all necessary safety precautions and measures, sometimes accidents may also occur in industries.
After major or minor accidents, an injured worker requires immediate preliminary treatment in the absence of the same his condition may become highly critical.
To take care of such situations, industries must employ full-time, at least a medical person who has completed his Red-Cross First-Aid Course, and can give preliminary treatment to the injured person.
The injured person may, later on, be shifted safely to the nearby hospital through the ambulance or otherwise through any vehicle or by other means as per the availability of the mode of transportation.
Besides the above service, first-aid personnel should take care of those workers or employees who come across injury by minor cuts, burns, or electric shock. The first aid provider should bring the victim to the first aid room for further treatment.
In case of a fatal injury, the first aid provider should call the doctor as soon as possible or arrange an ambulance for taking the victim to the hospital.
He should deal with the victim with full sympathy and make early arrangements to call the family member or some responsible the member so that adequate arrangements can be made in the hospital for the due care of the victim.
