3.9 First Aid

A brief description follows of some of the standard First Aid procedures that may be useful in case of injury when using the pump

or the machine/plant where it is fitted.

They may be useful if a machine operator has to handle an emergency when using the equipment during the various stages of its

working life (transport, installation, operation, maintenance, adjustments, etc.) to help himself or to assist others in the direct

vicinity of the equipment.

3.9.1 What the First Aider does

a) Calls for help (emergency services);

b) Assesses the condition of the injured person and sustains their vital functions, if necessary;

c) Stops the flow of blood;

d) Protects wounds and burns;

e) Protects the injured person from further injury;

f) Does not take any unnecessary or potentially harmful initiative like moving the injured person or giving him a drink,

attempting to treat sprains and/or broken bones, etc..

3.9.2 The Emergency Call

To be sure of a successful outcome, it is important to make sure the emergency services can reach the place of the event without

delay.

So it is very important that the first aider who calls the emergency services, gives the following information:

- The address where the accident (or medical emergency) has taken place;

- How many people are injured (or ill);

- What may have caused the emergency;

- The status of the injured person’s vital functions, whether he is conscious or not, and whether he is breathing normally or

not.

After confirming the above information, it is advisable:

 To give your own name and a telephone number where you can be reached;

 To wait outside for the emergency services to arrive (near the main entrance, for example).

Calling the emergency services is of major importance. Do everything you are instructed to do by the emergency team to ensure

a successful outcome.
