When an Accident Occurs Training Summary:

All accidents have to be reported. If you are helping someone, Stop, Think then Act to avoid any injury to yourself. Spinal injury can cause permanent paralysis, so do not move a person if you suspect a spinal injury. Ensure that the first aider has been called and that where necessary the emergency services are called. Make sure you follow all workplace protocols with respect to accident reporting to comply with the HSE and RIDDOR reporting. Reporting is the law.

This course covers general manual handling recommendations laid down by the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992, but you MUST check your workplace protocols and practices. Every business conducts its own risk assessments. If in doubt, ask your manager/employer to find out what the exact rules are in your place of work.
