# First Aid - General (cont.) ## What are first aid requirements? (cont.) If an employer opts to offer additional first aid measures (including over-the-counter medications, administration of oxygen, use of epinephrine auto-injectors, naloxone, etc.), it is suggested that they first seek legal counsel so that they are aware of any liability issues, and to check with your local jurisdiction responsible for health and safety. For example, in some jurisdictions, distribution of over-the-counter medications is not recommended (although an individual who can purchase using a vending machine may be permissible). In other jurisdictions, distribution of over-the-counter medications may be permitted under specific circumstances (including the appropriate training of first aid personnel). ## What documentation is required? Employers are usually required to maintain written records of all injuries and treatments given in a first-aid treatment record book or log. Each event should be recorded and include: - Worker's name - Date and time of injury - Location and nature of the injury - Description of how the injury occurred - Type or description of first aid treatment given - Time first aid was given - Worker's/Patient's signature - First aid attendant's signature - Date and time of reporting - Name of the person to whom the injury was reported Where this record is kept and who has access to it may vary with the need for privacy. ## What should workers know about first aid? Only workers trained in first aid should assist a victim. Never give first aid treatment for which you are not trained. As part of their emergency preparedness training, workers should know how to respond during an injury or illness situation. In terms of first aid, workers should know: Procedures to be followed when first aid is required (including what types of injuries should be reported) (e.g., who to call for help, remain with the victim until first aid attendants arrive, etc.) F…
