Occupational First Aid Skills & CPR

Workplace accidents not only have their potential catastrophic human dimension but they also have a financial impact. As there is an old saying "Prevention is better than cure". How much of cost will be incurred by your organization if accident happens? How much of it could you be prevented?

In fact, prevention is still the best method against accidents at the workplace. However, even the best preventive efforts sometime fail and it is therefore prudent to prepare for such eventualities. It has been shown that proper initial handling of the accidents victims contributes significantly to the final outcome and often determines if a life could be saved.
