Editor's Notes
- c. to assess if a person is unconscious Students could work in pairs to generate a list of questions they might ask themselves on discovering an unconscious person. Prompt them to think about both whether they should act and how they would tell what was wrong with the person. Ask students to prioritise their lists, putting the questions in order of importance. They can check their ideas with those shown on the next slide. (Alternative activity. Time needed: 10 minutes)
- c. to assess if a person is unconscious Ask: “What does unconscious mean?” “Why do you think you should make your own safety the first priority?” (If you put yourself in danger there may soon be two casualties rather than one. If you are injured, you won’t be able to help the person who has collapsed.) “What kind of response could you look for? (A reply, mumbling, opening eyes or moving.)
- to consider why it is important to learn first aid Ask: “How would you answer this question? What advice would you give?” Students could offer responses to each of the questions posed on this slide and the next. Click on the red box to see advice from the experts.

- Slide Show Notes Just imagine: A co-worker is hurt in an accident and blood is gushing from the wound. One of your friends chokes on a piece of food and can’t breathe. Someone goes into cardiac arrest right at his workstation. Any one of these things is possible, and it could happen any time. If it did, you’d have to act fast. A few critical minutes one way or the other could make the difference between life and death. Would you be ready to act with speed and competence in a workplace medical emergency? There are medical emergencies in workplaces across the country every day. Situations calling for first aid range from burns to cuts and amputations, eye injuries, chemical overexposures, and much more. Do you know how to report a workplace medical emergency? Besides calling 911, you also need to notify a supervisor or manager and provide as much information as you can about the accident. Describe the procedure for reporting workplace accidents and the information trainees should be prepared to provide about the incident.

One student takes the part of the unconscious person, the second plays a first aider and the third gives instructions on what to do next. (A video clip showing how to manage this classroom technique is available in the teachers’ area of the disc.) If there is not enough space for the whole class to do this, ask two students to demonstrate while the rest of the class takes it in turns to give instructions. The recovery position poster in the Lesson resources can help with this activity. (Alternative activity. Time needed: 25 minutes)
