It has been my duty this week to retrain as the first aider on site at flyer press. Whilst printing all manner of leaflets, posters, magazines and stationery it is imperitive that we follow proper procedure. I have learnt today about first assessing any scene, and about the most likely injuries that could be sustained in a print works.

A printworks is potentially a very dangerous place as it contains toxic chemicals, nitrates, and many machinery hazards, including crushing and forklift.
