This booklet is based on the Resuscitation Guidelines 2005 but is aimed at the lay rescuer and, I would say, the standard, dare I use that term, First Aider at Work, the Occupational First Aider, as that was once know at.
The brochure covers the essential skills needed to maintain life in an emergency situation and as it is fully illustrated throughout “walks” the reader thru the scenarios.
Aside from CPR the booklet deals with placing an unconscious but breathing casualty into the correct recovery position, as well as with choking and heart attack, etc.
In my view this brochure is useful booklet to have to hand as a memory jogger – but please do not try to use it when faced with the situation – for those those who are not called upon on a regular basis to use those skills.
