Daftar Isi Tutup

First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly tak-en ill. It includes self-help and home care if medical assistance is not available or is de-layed. It also includes well-selected words of encouragement, evidence of willingness to help, and promotion of confidence by demonstration of competence. The person giving first aid, the first-alder, deals with the whole situation, the injured person, and the injury or illness. He knows what not to do as well as what to do; he avoids errors that are frequently made by untrained persons through well-meant but misguided efforts. He knows, too, that his first aid knowledge and skill can mean the difference between life and death, between temporary and permanent disability, and between rapid recovery and long hospitalization.

Statistics show that accidents are the leading cause of death among persons from 1 year old to 38 years old; thereafter, accidents are one of the leading causes. The annual cost of medical attention, the loss of earning ability due to temporary or permanent impairment, the direct property damage, and the insurance costs amount to many bil-lions of dollars each year, not to mention the toll in pain, suffering, disability, and per-sonal tragedy. It is our goal to provide the first aid training not only with knowledge and skill to give life support and other emergency care but also helps you to develop safety awareness and habits that promote safety at home, at work, during recreation, and on the streets and highways. In the promotion of safety awareness, it is important to closely relate three terms: cause, effect, and prevention.

One of the latest regulations related to the K3 is regulation of the minister of manpow-er and transmigration No. PER 15/MEN/VIII/2008 about First Aid.
