running, bending over, squatting, climbing, lifting operating
machinery, pushing a broom, turning a valve, using a tool, handling
hazardous materials, etc.?

First aid
Employers need to assess their first-aid requirements to help them decide what
equipment and facilities they need, and how many first-aid personnel they should
provide.
First aid is the immediate treatment or care given to someone suffering from an injury or
illness until further advanced care is accessed or the individual recovers.

First Aid Trained Employee

Only employees trained in first aid should assist a victim. Never give first aid
treatment for which you are not trained.
As part of their emergency preparedness training, employees should know how to
respond during an injury or illness situation. In terms of first aid, employees should
know:
o Procedures to be followed when first aid is required (including what types of
injuries should be reported) (e.g., who to call for help, remain with the victim until
first aid attendants arrive, etc.)
o Location of first aid room and/or first aid kit(s)
o Location of a list of first aid attendants which indicates where to find the attendant
or a telephone number
o Location of a list of nearest medical facilities (name, address, operating hours
and telephone numbers)
o Location of a list of the organization's key personnel by name, title and telephone
numbers that are prioritized by "call first, call second, etc."
