13.
Describe the procedures to be followed if an accident or sudden illness should
occur




We have
identified some of the main accidents or sudden illnesses that might occur at
work.



You now need to
understand what procedures you should follow.  Here’s another acronym that
is designed to help you. 



AMEGA.



If you are present
at or if you come across an emergency situation, use AMEGA to help you remember
what to do.



 AMEGA stands for:



-Assess the situation



-Make the area safe



-Is emergency aid required



-Get help



-Aftermath








If you have been trained in emergency first
aid, you will be able to conduct a primary survey. 
Our First Aid course will provide useful
information and guidance.
Are you clear about what is expected of you in your role?
Do you know the level of training and competence you need? Are you confident
you are competent and safe to practice? If not, talk to your employer.
