Element 3 Managing Risk – EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND FIRST AID.

Greetings All, Welcome back to Q&A Series, we continue Element 3 Managing Risk – EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND FIRST AID. This concludes Element 3, We will be covering the following questions today. 1. What is the main objective of an emergency procedure? 2. Name three typical emergencies that may require the development of emergency procedures. 3. Identify the arrangements, an organization should make to deal workplace emergencies. 4. What factors might need to be considered when determining the first-aid facilities for a workplace?

An organisation should develop emergency procedures to deal with foreseeable incidents such as fire, bomb threat and chemical spill. These procedures should cover the internal arrangements for dealing with the foreseeable incidents, which will include:

·    The foreseeable emergencies.

·    Procedures for raising the alarm.

·    Procedures to follow.

·    Provision of suitable equipment.

·    Nomination of responsible staff.

·    Provision of training and information.

·    Drills and exercises.

·    Contacting the emergency services.

•    An employer must provide appropriate first-aid services for their employees. This will include first-aid equipment and appropriately trained personnel. They must inform their workers of these arrangements.

To determine what needs to be provided, an employer will have to undertake a first-aid needs assessment, which should consider various factors, such as the hazards and risks inherent in the work, the number and work pattern of workers, and the geographic location and spread of the workplace.
