FIRST AID

While we strive to lead accident free lives and work safely at all times it is important to know what to do if an injury should occur on the job. Following are some general rules to remember about first aid.

Locate the First Aid Kit. At the beginning of each new assignment find out where the first aid kit closest to your work area is located. Find out who is responsible and qualified to perform first aid if necessary.

Take a Class. If you've never taken a first aid class, or if you need a refresher, attend a first aid class. Classes are often offered by Red Cross or fire department volunteers. If you're interested, give our office a call and we can refer you to a class. Knowledge of proper first aid procedures is valuable to you at work, at home, and at play.

Never! Never treat an open or bleeding wound or allow others to treat your wounds without first understanding the risks associated with blood-borne pathogens. Today, because of the risks associated with HIV and other blood borne diseases, all first aid kits contain rubber gloves. It is vitally important that you wear these rubber gloves to avoid contact with blood or any other bodily fluids if administering first aid to others.

While we certainly hope you do not encounter an accident requiring first aid while on assignment it is important to familiarize yourself with these emergency procedures and be prepared.

PAPERWORK
Some times you need your check stub for personal business you are conducting. We don't have the ability to duplicate an actual stub for you, and it takes some time to get the information produced on plain paper and to you. Hang onto your stubs!! You never know when you'll need to produce one.
