Scene Safety on BC Worksites: How OFA Level 2 Attendants Approach a Scene
The first five seconds of any first aid call are about not becoming a second patient. Level 2 drills this relentlessly because BC workplaces can turn a simple response into a multi-casualty incident if the attendant runs in blind.
Check before approaching
- Traffic, moving equipment
- Electrical hazards
- Falling objects
- Chemicals, fumes, fire
- Unstable surfaces
Protect yourself
PPE appropriate to the scene. Gloves at minimum. Hard hat, high-viz if you are already on site. See documentation and reporting.
