BURNS
Plenty of cold running water. Minimum of 20 minutes under running was is what is recommended, until the burning sensation has stopped
Should they go to hospital? USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Remember, childrens skin is thinner and more sensitive. A burn that an adult wouldn’t worry about, is much worse for a child

Chest pain and pain and pins and needles down the left arm is classic. In women it can start in the back. It can feel like bad indigestion. They are likely pale and clammy and panting.
Call an ambulance. The Lazy W position is best, but whatever is comfortable.

From Health and Safety Executive:
Using personal protective equipment to control risks at work
All employers must provide personal protective equipment (PPE) free of charge if a risk assessment shows it is needed.
To stay safe, workers may have to wear PPE such as safety helmets, gloves, eye or hearing protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and harnesses.
PPE also includes respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to prevent workers breathing in dust, mist, gas or fume.
You can find out more detail in our step guide Using personal protective equipment (PPE) to control risks at work. It includes guidance on:
• when to use PPE
• what the law says
• managing risk using PPE

We also have a downloadable copy of our guidance publication on PPE at work regulations
