Training video: Why oxygenis so important
Trainer’s guide:
Why oxygen is so
important
This ten-minute video explains
why we need oxygen, how it
passes from the lungs and heart
to the rest of the body, and why
exhaled air can still help a
casualty.
Now all our body tissues depend on
oxygen, so we breathe in air to get
that oxygen. Air, as you can see in
the table, consists of 21% oxygen.
But the interesting thing is that
the air we breathe out still contains
16% oxygen. So why is this useful
for us as First Aiders?
A lack of oxygen in the body is known as
hypoxia. This is a very serious condition;
if the brain is starved of oxygen for
more than 3 minutes, we die. But the
air we breathe out still contains
enough oxygen to keep someone alive
until an ambulance comes with more
advanced medical help.

So let’s move on now to look at how we use
this oxygen. We need to start with the
respiratory system, that’s to say
breathing in and out. Basically the body
takes in oxygen and removes a gas called
carbon dioxide, which it does not need.
Let’s start at the point of breathing air
into the lungs – we do this when the chest
expands and the diaphragm flattens.
From the respiratory system we move on to the
circulatory system, in other words, the circulation
or movement of blood from the heart to the body
tissues. Blood with oxygen from the lungs, which we
call oxygenated blood, is pumped by the heart to the
body tissues through the arteries, which divide into
strong, elastic-walled vessels called capillaries.
The thin walls of the capillaries allow the exchange of
gases and other material between the blood and the
cells of the body. The capillaries join to veins, through
which the deoxygenated blood is then pumped from the
heart to the lungs. Oxygenated blood is brighter red than deoxygenated blood, which is a darker red, but is
always shown as blue on diagrams.
So now we are back with the lungs, with the
respiratory system. This final stage in the cycle
comes when we breathe out; the chest contracts and
the diaphragm becomes shaped like a dome. This
releases carbon dioxide and takes fresh oxygen into the lungs. Oxygenated blood then returns to the
heart to be pumped round the body again.

The heart is located in the centre of the
chest, slightly to the left of your breastbone.
It weighs about 10 ounces. It is a strong
muscular pump that beats an average
100,000 times each day, pumping about 4
and a half litres of blood through the body
approximately three times every minute.
The pump consists of four chambers, two at
the top and two at the bottom. Valves in the
heart prevent the backflow of blood that has
been pumped returning into those chambers
again.
The middle layer is the part of the heart that
is primarily affected by a heart attack, as an
area of this muscle dies as a result of theinadequate supply of oxygen to that area.

The respiratory system is all about breathing. The body takes in
oxygen and removes a gas called carbon dioxide, which the
body does not need.
Oxygen, however, is vital to life as the brain and body need
oxygen to function. If the body is starved of oxygen irreversible
brain damage starts to occur after about three minutes.
The respiratory system can be divided into the respiratory tract,
the mechanics of respiration and control of breathing. The
respiratory tract is the route that air follows when it is inhaled,
passing from the nose and mouth, through the epiglottis, and
eventually reaching the alveoli in the lungs. The oxygen is taken
up by the circulatory system, then carbon dioxide, which is a
waste product, is removed by exhaling.
The mechanism for breathing is as follows: messages from the
brain are passed via nerves, which stimulate muscles to contract
and relax, so enabling breathing to take place.

Recognising and treating shock
Recognising and treating shock
Clinical shock is a life-threatening condition; it occurs when
insufficient oxygen reaches the body tissues because the circulatory
system has failed. This may happen either because the heart isn’t
pumping well enough, or stops; or because not enough fluid is
circulating round the body.
Causes
The most common reason for a reduction in the volume of fluid
circulating around the body is blood loss either through external
bleeding (e.g. from a cut wrist), or through internal bleeding (from a
damaged organ, such as the liver). A lowering in the total volume of
fluid circulating around the body may also be due to other fluids lost
through burns, diarrhoea, or vomiting.
Recognising the condition
Ways of recognising that a casualty is in shock include: feeling sick orthirsty, or weak and giddy. Other signs are cold or clammy skin,
bluish lips or restlessness. A person in shock may be alert but can
quickly become unconscious, with fast or shallow breathing, and a
rapid or weak circulation, which may even stop.
Action you should take
When treating a casualty with shock you should raise and support
their legs, loosen tight clothing, insulate them from the ground,
cover them with a blanket, and get help. You should also reassure
them, because shock can be made worse by fear or pain. You should
not move the casualty, let them eat, drink or smoke, and you should
not leave them unattended unless you have to in order to get help.

Listening to training
Carrying out First Aid correctly can be a matter of life
and death, so listening carefully to speakers isimportant.
What’s the best way to listen to
my trainer?

speaker – this
keeps you focused.
Listen to an extract from a
training session to consider
the points on this page.
● List the signal words that
tell you the speaker is
moving on to a new
subject.

● Listen carefully to the beginning of the talk to
find out exactly what the talk is about.
● Listen for the main points the speaker is making.
Right, today I’m going to go over some points about personal
protection when you’re giving First Aid to others. First, let’s look at
electrical burns …
Listen for important information, for
example, the reason why you do something.
Don’t touch the casualty with your hands or try to move them with a wet
item such as a mop, because you’re likely to be electrocuted yourself .
Listen for key words to help you understand the
talk and remember key points.
If the casualty is still in contact with the electrical source and you
know it’s low voltage , you canmove the wire or the casualty to a safe position with a dry pole
or rope .
Keep your concentration by listening for words that
signal the start of a new step in the stage. For
example: Now let’s move on; Next …, Then …
Now let’s move on to dealing with ableeding patient …
Remember!
Personal safety is the mostimportant thing in First Aid.

ABC checks? I remember her mentioning ABC checks and A stood for airways but I don’t
remember what B or C stands for!
If you don’t understand something, don’t
be afraid to ask the speaker. Don’t
interrupt the trainer in mid-sentence. Wait
until there is a convenient pause or break.
If there is a lot of information or the trainer
is speaking too quickly, you should ask
them to repeat what they said.
I’m sorry to interrupt, but could youpossibly remind us what the B and C
stand for in ABC checks?
Excuse me. The information about how to get the casualty’s blood to circulate
seems very important. Could you possibly repeat what it is we need to do?
Right, so today we’re going to look at dealingwith an unconscious casualty who’s not
breathing and has no circulation.
You’ve established this through your primary survey, that’s your ABC checks.
Whatever you do, don’t give up! You can still supply that vital oxygen to the brain and heart
even though the heart’s not beating!
What you have to do is make the casualty’sblood circulate enough by compressing the chest. First you have to know where to put your hands, and how to apply pressure …

To get the best out of a training video you need to know why
you are watching the video. Ask yourself what you expect tolearn from the video. Once you understand the purpose for
listening and watching you can focus your attention on the
important parts of the video.
Read, watch and listen carefully to the
title and the introduction. Training
videos are often only 5 or 10 minutes
long. Stay focused all the way through.
It is not like watching TV. If your attention wanders, you might miss
essential facts or explanations.
Focus closely on
tables and
diagrams. They can
give you important
information quickly.
Listen to the
trainer as she
introduces the
video.
We are going to watch a short video.It’s about 10 minutes long so please
get comfortable! It’s called ‘ Why oxygen is so important ’.
It explains why …
Oh yes. She also said that we were
going to talk about how to avoid the brain being starved of oxygen.
Air we breathe out still contains16% oxygen …
A lack of oxygen in the body is known as
hypoxia …
… In the video we will see how oxygen istransported between the heart and lungs and around the body, and thendiscuss what you can do to prevent
oxygen starvation of the brain.
Listen for:
● emphasised words or phrases,
especially when the narrator is going
through important information
● explanations of technical words.

Answering questions about First Aid
Your tutor or trainer may ask you oral questions to check that you
understand important facts about First Aid. These tips will help you to respond clearly and confidently to these questions.
Listen carefully to the question. It may
help you remember which part of the
video the question refers to.
Use the questioner’s words to help
you phrase your answer. This will
help you give a relevant answer.
Answer It’s interesting that the air we breathe out still contains 16% oxygen.
Answer The air we breathe out is so useful
because it has 16% oxygen and can keep a person alive until medical help comes.
Hmmm. They were talkingabout that when they showed
that woman lying on the floor – she looked in a bad way.
Hmmm. That was right at the
beginning when they showed that table on the screen …
QuestionSo, thinking back to the beginningof the video. Can someone tell me what is so interesting about the
air we breathe out ?
Air, as you can see in the table, consistsof 21% oxygen. But the interesting thing
is that the air we breathe out still contains 16% oxygen. So why is this
useful for us as first aiders?
… but the air we breathe out still
contains enough oxygen
to keep someone alive until an ambulance comes with more
advanced medical help.
QuestionSo, moving on. Why is
the air we breathe out so useful ?

Taking part in a discussion
The key to a good discussion is to stick to the point, listen to
other people’s opinions, and encourage everyone to take part.
OK. You’ve had a chance to get into the course now. So I’d like you to get into
groups of three or four and discuss how you feel about becoming a first aider.
Well, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’mcertainly worried about whether I’d cope in an
emergency. My friend says that I’m too squeamish. It’s true that on holiday last year …
I think when it comes to it, and we’re in asituation where we need to act we’ll manage
and do what we need to. I agree that the training we receive here is very important.
If someone is saying too much or moving off the
point, politely interrupt and make your own points.
Body language is very important in discussions.
You can also use your eyes and hands to signalto others that it is a good time to speak.
Encourage quieter group
members to voice their opinions by asking them
open questions about the
topic. Don’t force someone
to speak or draw too much
attention to them.

2 Could I just make a point here? I don’t think we should expect
too much of ourselves. How well we cope will depend on what we learn here on the course and also on the support we get
when we’re doing it for real at work. In any situation we can
only do our best after all.Mary, what do you think?
How do you feel about having to deal with an accident at work?

Why?
Watching demonstrations
The recovery position
To get the most out of a demonstration you need to watch and
listen carefully to the trainer in order to understand:
● what to do
● how to do it
● why it should be done that way
Listen for key
instructions.
Listen for
explanations.
Watch carefully and
listen for accompanying
descriptions which
add more detail
about how to carry
out key instructions.
You can ask questions to:
● check information
● confirm
understanding
● ask for more
information.
What?
Open the airway …
How?
… by lifting the
chin forward ,like this.
Any fluid will thendrain out of the
mouth so there’sless chance of the casualty choking
on it.
Tips
● Let the demonstrator
finish giving the full
instruction first.
● Note down any key

There is a lot to learn on any First Aid course. You will need to be able to

Listen and count the important facts as the trainer
talks about them.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions to check you have
understood. This will help you get the key facts clear
in your head and remember them.
Look at the trainer – this will help keep you focused.
After the training
Look through your notes and handouts. Pay
particular attention to colours, shapes and diagrams
because these are often easier to remember thanwords.
Talk to your colleagues about what you have learned
and make a list of key points.
If you think in pictures,
you might want to connect
important information or
key words with images.
For example, to remember
how to put a casualty into
the correct recovery
position, imagine a picture
of the body and workdown it from head to toe.

Take note of First Aid
Writing things down can help you to remember later on
what you have learned. Here are some techniques to help you take notes while you are listening or reading.
Cut notes down by using abbreviations
(shortened words).
To shorten words you can:
● Use the first few letters of the word.
Examples: hosp = hospital, ext = external,
unconsc = unconscious
● Use the first and last letter of the word.
Example: yr = year
● Use just the capital letters for titles.
Example: AP = Appointed Person
● Use the apostrophe to show letters have
been left out.
Example: you are = you’re
Here are more examples of common
abbreviations:
approx = approximately, inc. = including,
Tues = Tuesday, tel no = telephone number
Use symbols in place of words. Symbols are
marks that have a meaning.
+ plus or more − minus or less
∴ therefore = equal, the same as
@ at & and
Use hyphens and arrows to link ideas.
External bleeding is dangerous if a casualty
loses enough blood to affect the circulation –
this can result in shock and unconsciousness.
Ext. bleeding – dangerous -
blood loss affects circulation
affects circ → shock + unconsc.
Use a highlighter pen or underline theimportant parts you want to remember:

You want to find out
about the job of an
Appointed Person.
Do not read every
word in the index.
Look for the first
letter of the word: A.
(You may need tolook for the first two
letters: AP.)
If you want to find out
how to use the trainee
workbook , you can look in
the contents for a section
that may explain this. You do not need to read
every word on the
contents page. You can
scan the page to find the
information you need.
Scanning is reading to
find out one piece of
information only; for
example, reading your
phone manual to see what
a particular display symbol
stands for.
Look quickly for the word
Workbook . Look for no
other word.
The contents page is usually at the beginning of the manual.
It tells you what information is covered in the book.
This manual is divided into 14 sections. The numbers on the
right tell you on which page each section starts.
Another way of finding information quickly is to
use the index, usually at the back of the book.

Using the layout
What is expected of an Appointed Person?
The help of an Appointed Person is obviously
needed in emergencies involving accidents and
sudden illnesses.
Am I the right person for this?
You may be afraid of seeing blood, or severe
injuries; you may think someone else would be
able to cope better than you. Your group
discussions have probably shown you that you
are not alone in these feelings.
Will I be able to cope?
At the start of this course, it is important that
you don’t expect too much of yourself. In anysituation you can only do your best. You
are not expected to achieve miracles or to take
personal risks. Remember that, as an Appointed
Person, your aim is simply to try to:
• preserve life
• limit the effects of the casualty’s condition
• help the casualty recover, if possible.
What support will I get?
You are only human, so AFTER AN INCIDENTIT IS NORMAL TO FEEL UPSET AND NEED
SOMEONE TO TALK IT THROUGH WITH;
this happens even to experienced emergency
service personnel, so make sure that you are
prepared for it.
Discuss with your colleagues how you can give
and receive help of this kind in your workplace
after an incident.
The information in a course book is organised in many different formats, or
layouts. This helps you to find the information you need more quickly.
The title of this page is in a large,
bold, coloured font. This makes the
words stand out and catch your eye.
Under the title and objective there is
often an introductory sentence; it
tells you more about what is
coming.
The subheading is the first of three
questions. All of these are questions.
The use of italic font shows their
importance.
The information that follows answers
the question.
The most important part of the
answer is written in BLOCK
CAPITALS. This makes sure that this
very important information catches
the reader’s eye.
Blank space is an important part of
layout – it makes a text more
readable. It also makes the final
suggestion stand out more.
This whole sentence is in bold. Thismeans that this part of the answer is
very important.
The aims are shown in a short
bulleted list of examples. Bullets
make a list clear and easy to read
quickly.

First Aid at work – what’s it all about?
In order to get the general idea about a new topic you might be asked
to read sections of the course manual. Find the pages, or part of apage, that you want then skim your eyes across and down the page.
When you read to get the general idea or

First Aid at work First Aid is the first help given to someone to
prevent injury or illness from becoming worse.
First Aid kitsThe contents of a First Aid kit should be linked to
the risks at the site. Extra items may be needed
where certain chemicals are handled. Medicines or
tablets must never be kept in a First Aid kit because
only qualified medical personnel can dispense them.
Minimum contents of a First Aid box• guidance leaflet • 4 triangular bandages
• 6 safety pins • 2 sterile eye pads
• 1 pair disposable gloves • 2 large and 6 medium
• 20 wrapped adhesive sterile unmedicated
dressings wound dressings
KEY WORDS
First Aider – someone trained to a recognised
standard to administer First Aid.
Heading? The numbers of Appointed Persons and First Aiders needed in theworkplace depend on factors such as risk, layout and number of employees. It is recommended that provision should also cover non-employees, such as customers.
Sub heading? An Appointed Person must be available whenever people are working.Their responsibilities include looking after First Aid equipment, makingsure it is always available, taking control when somebody is injured orill and calling the emergency services if needed. An Appointed Persondoes not have to be a trained First Aider although basic training isrecommended.
Sub heading? First Aiders must be specially trained and certified by organisationsapproved by the Health and Safety Executive.They should givetreatment only in the techniques they have been trained to carry out,otherwise they could cause further injury. First Aiders may needadditional training where there are special workplace hazards.
Sometimes a text may not have
so many clues but you can still
skim the text for key words to
help you get the gist.
Tip: useful key words are often
found in the first sentence of a
paragraph.
Task:
● Skim the text. The heading
and subheadings are missing.
● Skim each paragraph for key
words and give each
paragraph a suitable heading.

Reading the detail
Health and safety information can be difficult to understand. It
can include long, complicated sentences and unfamiliar words.Here are some tips to help you read this type of information.
Everybody at work should
understand their responsibilitiesunder HASAWA.
Everybody at work should comply
with their responsibilities under
HASAWA.
Employees are responsible for
ensuring their own health, safety and
welfare.
Employees are responsible for
ensuring the health, safety andwelfare of their colleagues.
Rewritten in four
shorter sentences
Read the information: what does it
say that Appointed Persons haveto do?
Responsibilities in the Workplace
Employers, First Aiders, Appointed Persons, and employeesshould be familiar with the health and safety legislation asfollows:
The Social Security Act 1975
The reporting system within an organisation usuallyincludes an accident book recording all accidents causinginjury on the organisation’s premises. The AppointedPerson is often involved in completing the record, but allemployees need to be aware of their responsibility tosupply information or enter details if they are involved inan accident.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAWA)Everybody at work should understand and comply withtheir responsibilities under HASAWA – this includes aresponsibility to ensure their own health, safety andwelfare, as well as that of their colleagues; responsibilitiesof employers include making sure that adequate training is
given to all employees about health, safety and welfare.
Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981Employers and their First Aiders, or Appointed Persons,together should organise and provide First Aid, accordingto the needs of the organisation. The current ApprovedCode of Practice is published by the Health and SafetyExecutive.
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and DangerousOccurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR)Employers are responsible for reporting to the appropriateauthority any serious accidents in connection with the
workplace (which includes any resulting in more than threedays’ absence from work), dangerous occurrences, andspecified occupational disease.
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations2005 (COSHH)Employers are responsible for assessing risks fromhazardous substances, and deciding on action to reducethem. All employees should follow safety guidelines andtake precautions identified by their employers. First Aidersand Appointed Persons should also be familiar withappropriate First Aid action according to the type ofsubstance and level of risk in their workplace.
Tips for reading long sentences:
● Read the information several
times.
● Make notes – try to sum up the
overall message.
● Break long sentences down into
shorter sentences – use thepunctuation or connecting
words (conjunctions) to help you.
Health and Safety information may
include unfamiliar words. Try to work
out what they mean from the rest of
the sentence or look them up.

Following procedures
The primary survey
There are a lot of procedures in First Aid that must be carried
out correctly. The primary survey is a first assessment of an
emergency situation and of the casualty’s condition.
Procedures often give information as well as instructions.
Instructions are usually written in short full sentences and begin with
imperatives or command words. For example, ‘place’, ‘remove’ and lift’.
The first sentence in this procedure gives information about the aim of
a primary survey.
There might be
several instructions
in each point.
Look out for:
● imperatives
(e.g. place, tilt)
● new sentences● the word ‘and’
Can you underline
all of the
instructions in the
primary survey
procedure?
Primary survey
The aim of a primary survey is to identify life-threatening conditions, to make sure that they aretreated first.
The sequence of checks in a primary survey is:
1 DANGER Are you, or the casualty, in anydanger?
2 RESPONSE Is the casualty conscious?IF THE CASUALTY IS NOTCONSCIOUS, SHOUT FOR HELP,AND THEN DO THE NEXT CHECK.
3 AIRWAY Is the casualty’s airway open andclear?
4 BREATHING Is the casualty breathing?5 CIRCULATION Can you see, hear or feel
breathing, coughing, movement,or any other signs of life?Is there any severe bleeding?
To open the airway:• Place one hand on the forehead and tilt the
head back.• Remove any obstructions from the casualty’s
mouth.• Lift the casualty’s chin with your fingertips.
To check for breathing:• LOOK for chest movement.• LISTEN for sounds of breathing.• FEEL for breath on your cheek.• LIFT the chin throughout the breathing check, to
keep the airway open (the breathing checkshould last for 10 seconds).
You are checking for breathing, coughing,movement, or any other signs of life when youlook, listen and feel for circulation.
This part informs
you of the
sequence or order
of checks in the
primary survey.
Questions are used
to help you think
about what checksto make.
Bullet points make
each instruction
stand out clearly.
Some instructions
are conditional.
This means you
only have to follow
them in certain
circumstances Look
out for the word
‘if ’.
Key words are
written in bold to
make them stand
out.

Using abbreviations
There are many abbreviations used in First Aid and related topics,
such as health and safety. Abbreviations are a quick way of writingto save time and space. They can also be very useful to help us
remember important information. Here are some examples.
All the abbreviations on
this page are acronyms.
An acronym is a word made up
from the first letters of other words.
There are different kinds of acronym.
Some acronyms use the
first letter of each word to
make another real word.
This new word helps you
to remember important
information.
These common First Aid
acronyms don’t make a
new real word but the first
letters do have an
important meaning.
Sometimes the first letter
of each word is used to
make a word that sounds
like a real word.

Although CPR is important to keep the
body oxygenated, a defibrillator is
needed to resolve the electricalproblem in the heart.
The chances of a person surviving after
suffering a cardiac arrest are much
improved if the emergency is dealt
with quickly.
Using a dictionary or glossary
One way of finding the meaning of words that you do not
know is to look them up in a dictionary or glossary.
A dictionary is an
alphabetical list of all
the different meanings
of words.
If you look a word up in
a dictionary, you might
find several meanings.
arrest
1. catch, take hold of
(person) by force
2. stoppage (of the
heart)
resolve
1. decide on something
2. deal with (or sort
out)
A glossary is an
alphabetical list of
specialist words and
their meanings.
arrest stoppage, e.g. of
the heart (cardiac arrest)
defibrillator machine
that gives a controlled
electric shock (in order
to re-start the heart)
oxygenated supplied
with oxygen
oxygen – an element in
air that we need to
breathe
You might find that the
glossary definition gives
you another word that
you don’t know. Keep
going until you are sure.
To find a word in the dictionary or
glossary, look for:
● the first letter r d
● the second letter e e
● the third letter s f
and so on.
A word may have more than one
meaning. It may also have both an
everyday and a technical meaning.
The dictionary will give both. The
glossary may give only the
technical meaning. (Look at theword ‘arrest’.)
That’s a new word! I’d better look it up in the glossary at the back.I’ve never seen that
word before! Where’smy dictionary?

Working out the meaningof words
One way of finding the meaning of words is to look them up in a
dictionary or glossary (see page 3:3). But it is often possible to work
out the meaning in other ways. Here are some examples.
The heart muscle, which isalso known as the
myocardium, is the part affected in a heart attack …
The heart has valves, whichare like pumps, to stop blood flowing back into the heart …
Deoxygenated blood is thenpumped from the heart to the
lungs …
Listen for an
explanation of the
technical word. The
trainer explains that
myocardium is theheart muscle.
Tip
Once you understand the
meaning of a technicalword try to use it.
Listen for an
example which
explains the
meaning of the
word. The trainer
says that valves are
like pumps .
Ask the trainer, or a
friend, if you are
not sure what aword means.
Look for diagrams
that will help you tounderstand the
meaning of unfamiliar
technical vocabulary.
Excuse me, can you explainwhat deoxygenated
means please?
Rightventricle Leftventricle
Rightatrium
Leftatrium
Right chambers Left chambers
I can look at this diagram.It explains the
meaning of atriaand ventricles.

Using diagrams
Diagrams can help you understand more exactly how to
carry out a complex procedure. This is the procedure for correctly carrying out chest compressions.
1) Find the right place on the casualty’s chest.
2) Position the hands.
3) Compress the chest and release pressure.
1) To find the correct place
● Slide your index and middle fingers
up the lowest rib.
● Middle finger is on the mid-point
where the ribs meet.
● Index finger is on the breastbone.
● Slide heel of your other hand down
the breastbone.● Heel of hand meets index finger
on breastbone.
2) To position the hands● Heel of first hand in position on
breastbone.
● Heel of second hand on top, fingers
interlocked and pulled up from the
chest.
3) To compress the chest and release pressure
● Aim for a rate of about
100 compressions per minute.
● Lean well over casualty to
apply pressure.
● Arms straight, press vertically
down through heels of hand.
● Fingers raised to avoid
pressure on ribs.
● Release pressure withoutmoving hands off the chest.

Understanding flow charts
First Aid procedures are sometimes written as flow charts
like the one below. A flow chart helps you to make quickdecisions about casualty care.
You don’t have to read
the whole chart – only
the part that applies to
your casualty.
Any dangers?(for you or casualty)?
Yes

No
Airway open?

Call ambulance Yes
No
Open airway;
Give 2 effective
rescue breaths
Check Signs of life
There is always a clear
starting point.
The steps in the procedure are linked together by arrows. The
route you follow depends on the casualty you are treating.
Along the route you
might have questions
to answer. For example,
‘Any response?’
You might also get
instructions telling you
what action to take. For
example ‘Treat casualty’
or ‘Call ambulance’.

Communicating with a casualty
Being a good First Aider depends not only on what you know,
but also on communicating this in a positive way to others.
STAY CALM!
Use your First
Aid knowledge
to decide how
best to respond.
Explain to the casualty
what you are going to do.
Explain clearly to the casualty
what is going to happen.
Give clear information toothers (such as paramedics).
Body language means
the signals you give to
others by the look on
your face, the position

Reporting accidents
Remember!
The clearer your description, themore accurately it will be recorded.
Tips
● Plan what you are going to say.● Describe events in the order they happened.
● Facts rather than opinions
Facts are important for accurate reporting because:
a fact is something that is true and can be proved,
but
an opinion is only what someone thinks; it may not be true.
He banged hishead against the side of a lathe.
I don’t think he wasproperly awake.
● A clear description
A clear description helps others to understand more about:● how the accident happened
● what injury was caused
● what action has been taken.
Raj slipped on somethingon the floor.
He banged his head as he fell backwards. The bangcaused some bleeding to the head which caused
him to faint.I was called to the scene. I put Raj into the recovery position and called an ambulance.
● Relevant details
Some details are important because they give
information that is necessary or relevant.
Other details are totally unnecessary and do
not add anything useful.
The witness was just having a breather whenhe saw the accident.
The casualty fainted when he saw the blood.

Say where it happened.
Describe how it happened and any injury caused.
Sign and date the record
Signature
Date
4. For the employer only
Complete this box if the accident is reportable under RIDDOR.
How was it reported?
Date reported
Signature
First read the whole form
through to check what
information is required.
Use the section headings to
help you fill in the information
in the correct places.
If you as a First Aider report
the accident, fill in:
Section 1 about the casualty
and Section 2 about yourself .
Section 3 asks you to
describe the accident.
This is divided into:
● when it happened
● where it happened
● how it happened
● what the injury was
(bleeding hand, intense
pain to left leg, bruising).
‘Occupation’ means job. The
title of your job goes here.
Write dates with the day,month and year, for example:
10th June 2005 = 10/06/05
Use am or pm to show exactly
what time of day the accident
happened, for example:
9 o’clock in the morning =
9.00 am.
9 o’clock in the evening =
9.00 pm.
When you have finished, check :
● that all the relevant facts are in a logical order.● for any errors in grammar or spelling.
