ABSTRACT

People of all ages, professions, and communities occasionally encounter circumstances that lead to health issues, wounds, and wounding. These circumstances could occur frequently in certain contexts, while they might occur infrequently in other scenarios. When workers do risky tasks and utilize machinery and instruments to carry out their professional responsibilities, they run the risk of suffering wounds and injuries. They must take safety precautions and procedures in order to avoid them. People store first aid kits in their homes, as well as at educational institutions, workplaces, enterprises, and factories. There are supplies to treat wounds and injuries in the first aid kit. One of the main advantages of first aid kits is that people may avoid going to hospitals and other medical facilities. Minor wounds and injuries are simple to cure, but larger wounds may require consultation with a doctor or trips to a hospital or other medical facility. The necessity of first aid, first aid principles, first aid application variables, and first aid legal considerations are the primary topics this research study considers.
