January 20, 2006—The British Red Cross has produced a new series of posters designedto help people deal with accidents in the workplace.
Each poster focuses on a particular technique, providing simple step-by-step first aid advice, says the Red Cross.
There are five in the series, covering bleeding, burns, choking, resuscitation and how to deal with an unconscious person using the recovery position.
Annette Holmes, head of commercial training at the British Red Cross, said: “They could be put up next to your first aid kit to act as a quick reference in case of emergency, and they are also a useful reminder to first aid trained staff of how to deal with particular situations.”
The posters cost 8.99 each or 35.99 for the set. They can be ordered by calling 0870 170 9110 or by visiting the Red Cross Web site.
