Smother the fire by wrapping the victim in the blanket. Tell them ―Stop, Drop and Roll! Notify the office clinic immediately.

5) Bleeding from a Cut

Most cuts that occur in the chemistry laboratory are minor. For minor cuts, apply pressure to the wound with sterile gauze, wash with soap and water, and apply a sterile bandage.

If the victim is ________________ badly, raise the bleeding part, if possible, and apply pressure to the wound with a piece of sterile gauze.

6) Fainting

People who are suffering from any severe injury (for example, a bad burn or major loss of blood) may be in a state of shock. A person in shock is usually pale and faint. The person may be sweating, with cold, moist skin and a weak, rapid pulse. Shock is a serious medical condition. Do not allow a person in shock to walk anywhere. While emergency help is being summoned, place the victim face up in a horizontal position, with the feet raised about 12 inches. Loosen any tightly fitting clothing and keep him or her warm.
