Infection control steps for first aiders
Hand hygiene: Wash your hands with soap and water whenever possible. Ensure any cuts/open injuries to your hands are covered with waterproof plasters or dressings. Keep nails short if possible.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear disposable latex or nitrile gloves when there is a risk of coming into contact with bodily fluids. However this is not always practical so in an emergency you can improvise and use anything to create a barrier. e.g: a plastic carrier bag
