BASIC CLEANLINESS AND PROTECTION
Document Content and Description Below
BASIC CLEANLINESS AND PROTECTION To prevent the spread of germs, always wash your hands with soap and water before and after giving first aid. When a person is hurt, the most important thing is to ... help. But you also must protect yourself from HIV and other blood-borne diseases. When someone is bleeding: 1. If possible, show the injured person how to stop the bleeding themselves, by applying direct pressure on the wound. 2. If they cannot do this, keep the blood off yourself by wearing gloves or a clean plastic bag on your hands, and placing a clean, thick cloth directly over the wound before applying pressure. 3. Avoid objects soiled with blood. Be careful not to prick yourself with needles or other sharp objects around the person you are helping. Cover cuts or other wounds with dry, clean bandages to protect them. 4. Be especially careful when you have to provide first aid where there are many people wounded from an accident or fighting. 5. If you do get blood or other body fluids on you, wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible. If other parts of your body were touched by body fluids (especially your eyes), wash them thoroughly with lots of water. [Show More]
