2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
As you go through this element you will acquire the necessary
knowledge, skills and attitudes to deal with emergency situations.
• 1. Recognize emergency and potential emergency situations
promptly
• 2. Determine and take required action within scope of individual
responsibility during emergency and potential emergency situations
• 3. Follow correctly, emergency procedures in accordance with
enterprise procedures.
• 4. Seek prompt assistance from colleagues and/or other authorities
where appropriate.
• 5. Report accurately, details of emergency situations in accordance
with enterprise policy.
3. RECOGNISE AND HANDLE
EMERGENCIES/POTENTIAL EMERGENCIES
• Emergency - a sudden unforeseen crisis (usually
involving danger) that requires immediate action or
remedy.
• First Aid - Help given to an injured person until proper
medical treatment is available
• A word of caution, always ensure that the action that
you take is within the scope of your individual
responsibility.
4. RECOGNISE AND HANDLE
EMERGENCIES/POTENTIAL EMERGENCIES
• Emergency situations may occur at any time during any given day and very
often could have been avoided had their potential danger been detected early
and corrected speedily. Emergency situations may include but are not limited
to:
• Accidents
• Health issues – heart attacks, fainting, bleeding, etc.
• Deranged customers
• Fire
• Flood
• Robbery
• Armed hold up
• Bomb threats
• Earthquakes
5. RECOGNISE AND HANDLE
EMERGENCIES/POTENTIAL EMERGENCIES
There are distinct procedures to be followed for certain
types of emergency situations. Medical emergencies for
example, require knowledge of first aid. First aid
procedures are vital and often make the difference
between:
• Life and death
• Temporary and permanent disability
• Rapid recovery and long hospitalization
6. RECOGNISE AND HANDLE
EMERGENCIES/POTENTIAL EMERGENCIES
Always pay particular attention to situations or things that are
potentially hazardous and act promptly to either contain or prevent
accidents. A loose electrical wire in the pathway is an example of a
potentially hazardous situation, so are:
• Electrical faults
• Trailing electric or telephone leads
• Loose objects
• Loose fixtures
• Chemicals
• Malfunctioning equipment
• Overloading of sockets
• Slippery/wet floors
• Poorly maintained or frayed carpets
8. FOLLOW EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
Many organizations have an
emergency plan or procedures
handbook which outlines the steps to
be followed in case of emergencies.
If you have not seen one at your
place of work or learning, check with
your supervisor or learning facilitator.
9. When an emergency occurs we often instinctively
want to rush in and do something.
Depending on the situation, this is not necessarily
the best option.
For example, unless you have been trained to
handle emergency situations especially those
requiring first aid, you should refrain from taking
action as a procedure that is incorrectly applied
could result in any of the following disasters:
Death
Temporary and permanently disability
Long hospitalization
10. The rule of thumb is to quickly assess
the situation and take action.
This could be simply to alert the
designated personnel who could
either be:
Colleagues assigned as Health and
Safety representatives
Managers or supervisors
11. REPORT DETAILS OF
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
A very important aspect of handling emergencies is
documenting and reporting these incidents.
These reports should always be in accordance with
enterprise policy.
There is likely to be some kind of system in place for
reporting and recording, accidents, injuries, illnesses and
other incidents.
This may include a standard form known as an “Accident
Report” which should be filled out by anyone involved in
on-the-job accidents/injuries regardless of how minor
they might be.
12. This report will aid in determining:
Cause
Damages
Liability
New measures/enforcement of procedures
NB: It is best to write the report while the details
of the emergency are fresh in your memory. It
has been proven that the longer the witness
takes to document a report the less accurate it
becomes.
13. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING
Identify 3 possible causes of accidents in the work place.
Identify 5 emergency situations and the procedures that should
used to handle them.
Define the term Emergency.
Define the term First aid.
