Cuts and Bleeding
There are numerous injuries that can occur in the workplace and amongst the most common are Cuts and Bleeding. These can range from small scratches through to serious cuts, embedded objects, amputations and injuries that can lead to internal bleeding.
Many bleeding incidents are not severe and can be treated with simple first-aid and the body’s own ability to clot. Some are more serious and require urgent action. Serious bleeding that is not stopped quickly is life threatening.
