How should you handle your feelings after a first aid incident?
Not enough emphasis is placed on what it is like for a first aider to deal with a serious incident. Therefore, the aim of the video is to make companies and individuals aware of the need to talk to their friends, family, colleagues or staff after something serious has happened in the workplace. First Aiders often volunteer to help others when in need but it is important that others help them once the emergency is over.
This is Altta’s very own, Colin first attempt at making any type of video like this. He says “I understand that it may be a bit rough around the edges or not scripted and that is because it was all from the top of my head. The message we want to get across is, the physical threat to life may be over but the mental threat is very real after the event”.
