No, generic first aid procedure templates will not be provided by WorkSafeBC. First aid procedures are very specific to your work location and work processes.
Manufacturers and businesses need to create their own specific templates that includes several first aid procedures—at minimum those marked by an asterisk:
- Coordination of multiple attendants (e.g., major/minor injuries)
- Location of, and how to summon first aid (e.g., regular work, evacuations)
- * Responding to a first aid call (i.e., how to leave assigned duties)
- Authority of attendant over treatment of injuries (worker/public)
- Reporting injuries/illness to WorkSafeBC
- * Where injured not accessible how to treat and move for BCEHS
- * Transporting worker to medical services if not ambulatory (remote)
- * Maintaining the first aid program including equipment, supplies, facilities, services (i.e., coverage, scheduling, inspections, etc.)
Work with your health and safety association for assistance with creating procedures specific to your workplace. MSABC does not have First Aid procedure templates as these are created for each client by an MSABC Safety Advisor. The MSABC First Aid Program does address all the content noted above and is provided upon request.
Connect with a MSABC Safety Advisor to find out what resources may be available for your use. Email [email protected] for details.
