Stand up meetings, emails, phone calls; the buzz of expectations, the thrill of catching new clients, working with challenges – makes the fabric of most organisations today. An organisation has multiple things running at the same time, against a clock that is ticking. The company has various employees from various backgrounds and each with their own dreams as well.\u00a0 There is a question that the organisations are taking very seriously nowadays apart from the technical well-being of its employees – are we as an organisation emergency prepared?<\/p>\n

With lifestyle changes, sedentary workstyle, stress at the office, not proper diet or hydration, there is a high chance that an employee who is the strongest link in the chain can fall ill and there can be an emergency situation in the office.<\/p>\n

Heart attacks<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, cardiac arrests, seizures, fainting, taking a bad fall from the stairs etc are some real-life examples of an emergency striking anytime at the office. The question that still remains is whether the employees in the office are capable or trained to handle such situations?<\/p>\n

What to do when in case of an emergency at the office?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First aid knowledge<\/a><\/span> –\u00a0 Simple ones to even CPR<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the person has sustained minor injuries that require immediate first aid to be administered, the employees need to know the right methods to use to help the person in danger.<\/p>\n

In the event that there is an electric shock, loss of consciousness, bleeding – there are different ways to handle each of these events. These must be known to the associates.<\/p>\n

In case there are dire emergencies with the person needing the administration of CPR<\/a><\/span><\/strong> – the emergency breathing to be provided to restore breathing to its normalcy; should also be known as it can mean the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n

Calling for emergency ambulances<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While first aid is important, there is also another step to be followed by employees that complete the process of being emergency ready; that is to call ambulances to the office or organisation. While most companies do have an in-house ambulance, most employees do not know which numbers to call and at times it requires a special ICU ambulance to get the person to the nearest medical facility. The employees need to be trained to know when to call a normal non-emergency ambulance<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and when to call an ICU ambulance.<\/p>\n
