Train nonmedical and medical people, including employees of any organization and families, in evidence-based first aid techniques, focusing on chest compressions, bleeding control, handwashing, and snakebite guidelines.
Explore the module background of workplace first aid training by tracing the history of first aid and the Red Cross movement, and outlining evidence-based guidelines for reducing morbidity and mortality.
Module 1.3 covers the contents of workplace first aid training, including basic techniques, amputation, snakebite, foreign objects, pregnancy and emergency childbirth, school and rural emergencies, and practical certification.
Learn the aims of first aid and basic techniques to provide immediate treatment before ambulance arrival, prevent deterioration, promote recovery, and arrange transport to health care facility, with authorized certification.
Learn about the Indian Good Samaritan and bystander protections, consent and duty of care in first aid, and how to preserve privacy and report incidents to authorities.
Assess hazards and protect yourself before assisting; wash hands and wear gloves if possible, seek emergency help, warn others, then evaluate the injured for consciousness and breathing.
Assess the emergency, decide urgency, and call for help with location and number of injured. Stay calm, reassure, and follow first aid steps, including CPR and avoiding food or drink.
Maintain calm during workplace CPR and prioritize safety to support effective resuscitation. Chest compressions sustain blood flow, with or without breaths, and seek emergency help, while addressing emotional impact afterward.
Assess breathing and pulse, turn the casualty onto their back, open the airway, and begin resuscitation immediately if not breathing normally; call for help.
Master CPR and rescue breathing basics: perform chest compressions at 100–120 per minute with up to 6 cm depth, alternate with ventilations, and switch rescuers every two minutes.
Learn to perform CPR on babies under one year, including safety, calling for help, and 30 chest compressions at 100–120 per minute with rescue breaths.
Place an unconscious but breathing person in the lateral recovery position to keep the airway open, tilt the head back, and monitor breathing while calling for help.
Perform a top-to-toe assessment after an accident, gathering history and observing symptoms. Assess breathing, bleeding, pain, deformities, and consciousness to identify life-threatening issues and prioritize resuscitation and bleeding control.
Learn essential workplace first aid hygiene practices, including when to wear gloves, handwashing techniques, using sanitizer, disposing of contaminated materials, and basic decontamination to prevent infection.
Explore how respiration expands the lungs via diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Learn gas exchange in the alveoli and oxygen uptake with carbon dioxide removal, guided by the brain's respiratory center.
Recognize no breathing or difficulty breathing, identify causes like obstruction and lack of oxygen, and act by calling for help and performing CPR with rescue breaths.
Drowning causes asphyxia as water fills the lungs, hindering oxygen exchange. Rescue safely, remove the victim from the water without risking yourself, start cpr if not breathing, seek transport.
Explore strangulation and hanging, call for help, handle carefully, place a breathing victim in recovery position with warmth, and perform CPR or transport to a health care facility if needed.
Recognize choking as a life-threatening emergency and apply age-appropriate aid: back blows and abdominal thrusts for conscious victims; infant back blows and chest thrusts, then CPR if unconscious.
Identify throat swelling that may obstruct airway from inflammation or allergy; keep person seated if breathing stays normal, start CPR if it stops, and call the nearest health care facility.
Explore suffocation from smoke or gases, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and learn first aid steps: protect yourself, move the victim, perform cpr, and seek a health care facility.
Recognize asthma symptoms include narrow airways, swelling, mucus, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Position the person upright or forward-leaning, give prescribed inhaler, and seek emergency care if condition worsens.
Learn how the heart’s four chambers pump blood through the lungs for oxygen and to the body via arteries, with pulse, red and white blood cells, plasma, and clotting.
Recognize chest discomfort as a possible heart attack and act fast: have the person rest and seek help. Administer prescribed nitroglycerin and aspirin, monitor, and perform CPR if breathing stops.
Learn how the body responds to vascular injury by vessel constriction and clotting mechanisms, and classify bleeding by arteries, veins, capillaries, and by external or internal locations.
Learn to assess life-threatening bleeding and control external bleeding with direct pressure and a bandage, avoid removing wound objects, and seek medical help or CPR if breathing stops.
Learn to manage workplace amputation emergencies by controlling bleeding and preserving the amputated part in a clean bag; ice it, label with name and time, and seek rapid hospital transport.
Identify stroke symptoms rapidly using the fast approach, understand that stroke results from disrupted brain blood supply, and act quickly by seeking urgent transport and providing CPR if needed.
Explore diabetes types—type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes—insulin use, obesity links, and early diagnosis, plus symptoms to monitor blood sugar in the workplace.
Identify fever as a sign of serious illness and causes like malaria or pneumonia, then seek medical attention. Learn to measure temperature with armpit or ear thermometers and manage dehydration.
Learn first aid for snake bites: treat as potentially poisonous, call for help, keep the victim calm and still, monitor breathing, immobilize the limb, remove jewelry, seek medical care.
Identify signs of a foreign object in the eye, pain and redness, and rinse with clean, room-temperature water for 10–15 minutes. If not visible or stuck, seek urgent care.
Explore signs and progression of pregnancy, from early trimester changes to labor, including contractions, cervical dilation to 10 centimeters, and stages of labor, with emphasis on childbirth and immediate breastfeeding.
Learn to manage emergency childbirth at work by guiding delivery safely, maintaining hygiene, supporting the mother, performing skin-to-skin contact, handling the umbilical cord, and arranging urgent transportation.
Prepare staff to manage school emergencies by applying basic first aid, prioritizing safety first, alerting healthcare facilities, and following standard operating procedures through comprehensive training.
Learn to handle emergency situations and follow disaster management model at work, including stopping machinery, assessing the situation, prioritizing safety, alerting responders, and delivering swift first aid.
Develop rural first aid skills for emergencies where medical facilities are limited and transport is difficult. Train to respond swiftly to injuries, bites, heat or cold stress, poisonings.
Recognize hypothermia as a medical emergency; move the person to safety, insulate from the cold, replace wet clothing with warm blankets, avoid direct heat, and monitor breathing.
prioritize treatment in mass casualty incidents through rapid emergency triage, sorting casualties by category—green, blue, or black—to deliver the right care at the right time.
Master practical workplace first aid, including securing an airway, controlling bleeding, and performing CPR at 100-110 compressions per minute with 5-6 cm depth, following layperson guidelines.
Learn how to perform CPR with chest compressions and rescue breaths, including infant CPR for babies under one year, with guidance on switching rescuers and maintaining chest compression quality.
