When an accident or emergency happens, respond immediately as per the established guidelines. Do not take actions
              that are not included in the guidelines, even if you believe they might help. You can provide necessary help such as
              administering first aid or help with evacuation. Make sure your necessary help aligns with the procedures set by your
              organisation.
              All employees need to understand that only trained and certified professionals are allowed to make decisions beyond
              the standard procedures. These experts have the authority and knowledge to handle more complicated situations
              safely.

              Follow Company Policies and Procedures for Preventing Further Injury While Waiting for Help to Arrive
              When someone is hurt, it’s important to keep calm. Panicking can make the situation worse and hinder your ability to
              help. Do not rely on your impulse or gut feeling. Follow the procedures and guidelines provided by your organisation.
              Do not attempt to make decisions or perform actions beyond your training and the organisation's policies.
              Offer comfort and reassurance to the injured person. Let them know, help is on the way and that they are not alone.
              If the situation requires medical or emergency professionals, wait for them to arrive and take over. These steps are
              designed to handle the situation safely and effectively.

              Act within the Limits of your Responsibility and Authority when Accidents and Emergencies Arise
              Understand what your responsibilities and authority are in case of an accident or emergency. Stick to what you are
              trained and authorised to do. Offer help and support, but only within the limits of your role. Do not take actions that
              go beyond your training and authorization.
              If you are certified in first aid or CPR, you can provide medical help to the injured person. If you are not certified, do
              not attempt to provide medical aid. Instead, ensure that the injured person is safe and wait for professional medical
              help to arrive.
              By staying within the limits of your responsibility and authority, you help ensure that the situation is managed safely
              and effectively. Always remember that it’s better to wait for professionals if you’re not trained to handle a particular
              emergency.

              Promptly Follow Instructions given by Senior Staff and the Emergency Services
              When an  accident or emergency happens,  listen carefully  to  the instructions  given by senior  staff or emergency
              services. Understand what services you are supposed to provide according to your organisation’s policy. Perform your
              tasks as described in the policy for your role. Senior staff members are trained to handle specific situations. Work
              under their supervision to ensure that you are doing the right thing.

              Types of Accidents
              Some of commonly occurring accidents in organisations are:

              Trip and Fall
              Trips and falls happen when someone accidentally trips over something in their path and falls. This could be caused
              by objects left on the floor, uneven surfaces, or even just not paying attention to where you're walking. In workplaces,
              these accidents can lead to injuries like sprained ankles, broken bones, or even more serious harm if someone hits
              their head or falls from a height.

              Slip and Fall
              Slips happen when there is not enough friction between your foot and the surface you are walking on, causing you to
              lose balance and fall. This could be due to wet floors, spilling of liquids or throwing of other slip-causing material on
              floors.
