Typical hazards & measures

- AED for low-resource or remote environments — In remote locations, share AED location and ensure quick access—on staff vehicle or like storage. Train all staff to retrieve and operate effectively.
- Sanitisation and infection prevention after first aid — Disinfect first aid areas, launder blankets or linen after use, and restock PPE. Remove used dressings with safe disposal. Log sanitisation routines.
- Anaphylaxis preparedness — Keep epinephrine auto-injectors accessible (per policy). Train staff to recognize allergic reactions and administer injections. Log usage and follow-up protocols.
- Dealing with serious incidents and hospital transfer — Assign a coordinator to manage severe injuries. Secure transportation or medevac plans. Maintain emergency kit with thermal blankets and transport immobilisers.
