APPLY FIRST AID INCASE OF
ACCIDENTAL CUTS AND
WOUNDS
Applying first aid in case of
accidental cuts and wounds is one of
the safety procedures in beauty care
nail care services. Salon employees
were trained to apply first aid in
minor cuts and wounds during the
performance of nail care services.
The learners must have
knowledge, understanding
and skills in this competency
for future use or purpose.
A wound is any damage or
break in the surface of the
skin. Applying appropriate
first aid to a wound can speed
up the healing process and
reduce the risk of infection.
FIRST AID
TREATMENTS
First Aid Treatments
1. CONTROL BLEEDING
Use a clean towel to apply
light pressure to the area until
bleeding stops (this may take a
few minutes). Be aware that
some medicines (example:
aspirin and warfarin) will affect
bleeding, and may need
pressure to be applied for a
longer period of time.

2. WASH YOUR HANDS WELL
Prior to cleaning or dressing
the wound, ensure that your
hands are washed to prevent
contamination and infection of
the wound.

clean, lukewarm water to cleanse

using moist cotton bud or pad.

6. APPLY AN ANTIBIOTIC
OR PETROLEUM JELLY
Apply a thin layer of an
antibiotic ointment or petroleum

in some people. If rash appears,
stop using the ointment.
