What shall we do if we see someone injured in an accident? First aid is the most necessary thing we should give to him.

When we do first aid, we must pay attention to three important things. First we must make sure whether the person is still breathing.  Open his mouth to see if there is any food at the  back of his mouth. Then try our best to start the person's breathing within a few minutes, or he will die.  Try to repeat the mouth­to­mouth way as often as necessary. Finally, if we see a person bleeding badly we must press a handkerchief onto the bleeding point and hold it to stop the bleeding.  For if a person loses one­third of his blood he may die.

First aid is also important in our daily life, for accidents may happen at home.  For example, if a person is bitten by an animal, we must have him wash the wound with cold running water before going to see a doctor. When a person is burnt or cut, we should let him wash the area of his burn or cut under the cold tap and put a piece of dry clean cloth over it. But if it is serious, go to the hospital for medical care. In a word, every one of us should manage to know something about first aid so we could save other people's lives.

What would happen today, if there was an accident at your workplace? Would employees know what to do? Would the injured person get the best possible care?

When an accident happens, a first aid programme that meets the requirements of the law and is made to the type and size of the workplace can really make the difference between life and death, or between recovery and lasting disablement (伤残).

Employers should make sure that all employees know where emergency information is posted at the workplace. The emergency notice should show the phone numbers of the closest ambulance service,  rescue unit, fire/police station, and hospital.  The amount of time it takes to look up one of these important numbers can make a big difference to a seriously injured person. The place of first aid equipment and rescue equipment should also be posted.

All workplaces should have a person with first aid or medical training in case of an emergency. First aid equipment and supplies, including a variety of dressings and instruments, as well as an up­to­date first aid book, should be stored where they can be reached quickly and easily in case of an accident. These supplies should be inspected frequently, making sure they are kept in sanitary (卫生的) and usable condition and re­stored after use. Larger workplaces may need more than one, fully­equipped first aid bag.

In lonely workplaces, emergency supplies and an action plan are especially important. At least one person trained in emergency first aid should always be on­site (在现场的). If first aid is not given properly, it can sometimes hurt rather than help an injured person, or even be harmful to the person giving first aid.

All workers should know who is trained to give first aid on­site, where emergency first aid equipment is put, and what medical professional or medical instruments should be found if a medical emergency happens.

How to Do Basic First Aid

Basic first aid refers to a temporary form of help given to someone who has been injured or has got sick due to choking, a heart attack, drugs or other medical emergencies. .

Care for the person who has just gone through serious damage, including both physical treatment and emotional support. . Let the person know that help is on its way and that everything will be all right. And you can ask about his name, and then about his interests if he knows what has happened.

. You'd better listen for the sound of air coming in and out, and feel for air using the side of your face. If there are no signs of breathing, place two fingers under the chin (下巴) and gently guide the face upwards to open up his airways.

Perform 30 chest compressions (心肺复苏) and two rescue breaths as part of CPR. . And then press the chest down about 2 inches at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths, done by opening the airways, closing the nose and fully covering the mouth hole. Make sure the person is warm as you wait for medical help. Remove some of your own clothes, such as your coat or jacket, and use it as a cover until medical help arrives. However, if the person suffers from heatstroke (中暑), do not cover him or keep him warm. .

If you get injured in a sport, what should you do? The best way (deal) with sports injuries is to keep them from happening in the first place. Knowing the rules of the game and using right (equip) can help you avoid injuries. If you've got injured, pull (you) out of the game or stop doing your activity. Let your coach or parents know what (happen) in case you need to see a doctor. Serious head and neck injuries happen most often to athletes play sports like football. Keep the injured person still with his or her head (hold)  straight while someone calls for medical help. If the person (lie) on the ground, do not try to move him or her.

Your first question after a sports injury will (probable) be, "When can I play again?" This depends on the injury and your doctor tells you. Even if you can't return to your sport right away, the doctor might have advice on what you can do to stay healthy. Always talk with your doctor trying any activity following an injury.
