Do you or your employees know what to do when an accident, even non-fatal ones, will occur or when an emergency will happen?
If someone was injured or become suddenly ill in your office, would your employees know what to do?
Since no one can predict with certainty when an emergency, an injury or even an earthquake will happen, it is important to get prepared in advance.
While not an option since it is the law, first aid compliance is one of the first major steps that you can undertake. Federal and state standards require all workplaces to maintain an adequate first aid supplies.
PCS Safety, Inc. taps highly-skilled first aid experts who are trained in providing total first aid solution from first aid compliance and training, as well as risk assessment.
The hazards present at the work site determine the level of first-aid services your organization will need to maintain. Both the law and a good common sense dictate that a basic level of readiness is imperative.
Under the California law, the provision for first aid should include one-time treatment and follow-up for observation of minor injuries (e.g., minor cuts, abrasions, bruises, first-degree burns, sprains, and splinters).
There are two sets of first-aid standards mandated by California:
The state standards, as well as the federal standards, must be at least as stringent, covering the following areas: emergency medical services, personnel training, and first aid supplies.
The California Code regulations require all employers to have all their staff trained to render first aid. The level of training must match to that of the American Red Cross or the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Exempted from this strict requirements are employers of non-construction companies that are near to an infirmary or clinic for first aid to be administered there.
While not explicitly stated as to the number of personnel who should undergo the training, however, the regulations imply that the number should be adequate to ensure that any employee needing first aid will be within close reach of a trained person.
