Sometimes, the type of first aid treatment needed for a minor injury is obvious. But if a coworker is lying unresponsive on the floor, the reason may not be as clear. People who are trained to render first aid are taught a systematic method to determine what may be wrong.

For those who have not received formal first aid training, knowing that others are trained — as well as how to call for those trained responders — will help everyone be better prepared for the unexpected.
Use this Toolbox Talk as a reminder for trained first aid responders and as an awareness tool for other employees who may be the first to discover an unresponsive coworker.
Make It Personal: Identify all employees who have been trained to render first aid. Discuss how to contact those responders as well as how and when to call for outside emergency responders.
