Prepare for Medical Emergencies

Workplace medical emergencies vary greatly depending on the disaster, type of job and the worksite. However, there are steps that can give you the upper hand in responding to a medical emergency. Encourage employees to take basic First Aid and CPR training. If it is feasible, offer on-site classes for your co-workers. You should also keep First Aid supplies in stock and easily accessible. Finally, encourage employees to talk about medical conditions that may require support or special care in an emergency.
