Description
This text is designed for the 6- to 8-hour first aid course for people who have little or no background in first aid and CPR, this training package provides coverage of every essential element required by OSHA's current guidelines.
Using universal symbols to represent commonly used first aid treatment methods, the author eliminates most of the confusing written explanations students have come to dislike and instead concentrates on using actual photos to demonstrate specific skills being discussed. In his trademark simple and straightforward style, he offers clear and concise information on how to properly and competently provide basic first aid on a limited number of injuries and illnesses until professional help arrives.
