First Aid

First aid should be available in all workplaces to provide assistance in the event of an accident and injury. These can include cuts, burns abrasions, etc. Designated workers should be trained in First Aid. Where unusual chemicals are present, the standard first aid kits can be supplemented with additional products such as cyanide antidotes and chemical burn solutions.
