Undertake Initial Rescue

Course Outline

Personnel undertaking a task in a workplace may witness an incident involving a co-worker. In these few initial critical minutes before other help arrives, the actions of the person may have a significant effect on the well-being of their co-worker. However, at no time should the person take any action that is likely to cause them to be placed at risk.
