Build confidence for critical moments through clear First Aid: The Basics instruction on the basics of applying first aid to address common workplace injuries and illnesses.
The First Aid: The Basics program builds practical awareness and supports consistent workplace decisions. Key outcomes include the ability to spot the major categories of risk and types of first aid, explain the value of being informed and practicing first aid, and spot the dos and don'ts of responding to work environment injuries and illness. The material also helps learners spot the risks and goals of first aid for responders. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.
Basic first aid training benefits any employee who could be first on the scene of a workplace injury. That includes supervisors, designated first aid responders, team leads and workers at remote sites. Typical situations include burns, cuts, sprains, eye injuries, bites and stings, choking, electrical injuries and loss of consciousness.
Yes, in some workplaces. OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.151(b) requires an adequately trained first aid provider when no infirmary, clinic or hospital is in near proximity. Adequate first aid supplies must also be readily available, and construction sites follow similar rules under 29 CFR 1926.50.
When giving first aid, do not move a victim with a possible head, neck or spine injury unless the scene is unsafe. Do not touch someone in contact with live electricity until the power is off. Avoid removing embedded objects or giving food or drink to an unconscious person.
First aid responders can face blood and body fluids, live electricity, traffic, fire, toxic air and unstable structures at the scene. Responders should confirm the scene is safe before approaching and use gloves and other barriers. Employees designated to give first aid are covered by OSHA's bloodborne pathogens standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
Treat a minor workplace burn by cooling it under cool running water until the pain eases. Then cover it loosely with a clean, dry dressing. Do not use ice or butter, and leave blisters intact. Get medical care for large, deep, electrical or chemical burns. The 20-minute video is available in English, Spanish and French.
