EMERGENCY FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS
Personnel engaged in the installation, operation, or maintenance of this equipment are urged to become familiar with the following rules
both in theory and practice. It is the duty of all operating personnel to be prepared to give adequate Emergency First Aid and thereby
prevent avoidable loss of life.
RESCUE BREATHING
1. Find out if the person is breathing.
You must find out if the person has
stopped breathing. If you think he is not
breathing: place him flat on his back. Put
your ear close to his mouth and look at his
chest. If he is breathing you can feel the
air on your cheek. You can see his chest
move up and down. If you do not feel the
air or see the chest move, then he is not
breathing.
2. If he is not breathing, open the airway
by tilting his head backwards.
Lift up his neck with one hand and push
down on his forehead with the other. This
opens the airway. Sometimes doing this
will let the person breathe again by
himself.
3. If he is still not breathing, begin rescue
breathing.
-Keep his head tilted backward. Pinch
nose shut.
-Put your mouth tightly over his mouth.
-Blow into his mouth once every five
seconds
-DO NOT stop rescue breathing until help
arrives.
LOOSEN CLOTHING - KEEP WARM
Do this when the victim is breathing by
himself or help is available. Keep him as
quiet as possible and from becoming
chilled. Otherwise treat him for shock.
