First Aid Responding To Emergency

I am trying to pass the course to become a certified responder. Surprisingly, I cannot seem to find sites where they post splinting, bandaging, and CPR techniques and pics. Can someone give me a heads up with this? Thanks a lot!

What type of responder? ARC RTE is NOT an EMS level cert, so if you're looking for that you'll need to attend the state's course.
Many places won't put that type of info on a website since it's something that needs to be taught in class, not on a website, and can be dangerous if done incorrectly.

April 18, 2011 2:09pm -- A Hatzolah EMS volunteer receives two tickets for responding to an emergency. Update: the volunteer received 6 more ...

okay so i have a test tomorrow in my class, the question is

under what three conditions should you decide to transport a victim to an emergency care facility yourself?

we use the American red cross first aid: responding to emergencies 4th edition staywell, revised 2007 book

thanks a buncch!!

1. When the scene is not safe at the immediate time and cannot wait due to mortal danger to both victim and rescuer.
2. When there is no way to get ahold of emergency personel and the person cannot be left alone.
3. When there is no mortal danger to the victim and emergency personel are not necessary.

I do not know if this is what it is for that particular book, however I am First Aid/CPR, AED, and Lifeguard certified and this has always been my answer and has served me well.

I work in live stage theatre, I usher the shows and sell tickets. My employer is paying all of us our regular wages to take first aid and CPR (in canada)
However during the upcoming season she is thinking of making a policy in which one person each evening is "responsible" for responding to any first aid emergencies.
This seems to put alot of pressure on a person (like me) that in a real emergency situation wouldn't be able to keep my cool and remember how to do things properly.

I've been trained in first aid before, and I've been on the site of emergencies before (I was the emergency once.... hehe broken leg:P
I don't handle those situations well. They frighten me and I've always had someone else to pass the first aid responsibility to.

I'm wondering if my employer is able to give me this responsibility without my consent?

I BELIEVE that this would put your employer in an interesting position as far as liability goes. By saying someone's JOB is to provide care, then they are basically saying they will provide high level care and be responsible for that- and that takes a lot higher level of training than you have.

Now, having a 'first aid station' for bandages, aspirin, etc. (probably at the ticket office or coat check, etc.) or a rotating person responsible for grabbing the AED machine in an effort to ensure rapid response seems logical to me- but that is a lot different than basically asking someone to serve as an EMT for a night.

Just my thoughts, however.

"I've been wanting to become a volunteer firefighter for some time now, I hear I need to have a first responder certification for the place I want to volunteer at. Know i should be asking the fire department this but I went to the library where I found a book called "First Aid- Responding to Emergencies" (from the red cross) Is this the type of first responder certification needed to become a volunteer firefighter?
-------------
The problem I have about taking this class is when it comes to test and very big words like "Musculoskeletal" "Trachea" and a lot more. I don't think I would be able to spell them if I had to on a test. I do have few problems, main one is dyslexia. Is there any thing that could be done, to help me take this class? I not become a first responder/volunteer firefighter."

I would ask the question in a slightly different way, more to the point.

Dear Red Cross

I want to become a volunteer first responder/firefighter, but in order to do so, I have been told, I need a first responder certificate. At the library I found a book put out by the Red Cross called "First Aid- Responding to Emergencies". Is this the type of certificate mentioned in the book the type I need to become a volunteer firefighter, and if not what type do I need? Also do you offer those classes?

I have a form of dyslexia that prevents me from writing "big words" like Musculoskeletal, Trachea, etc. Will this cause a problem for me taking the class, and if it does can anything be done to help me with the class? I really want to become a first responder/volunteer firefighter.

Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

Sincerely:
