How should a worker respond to a fellow worker who has fallen?

The appropriate response for a worker who encounters a fellow worker who has fallen is to ensure safety and then monitor the situation. This approach prioritizes the well-being of both the injured worker and the responder. It is essential to assess the situation for any ongoing hazards, such as electrical risks or other dangers that could cause further injury.

Once it is safe to approach, monitoring the situation allows the responder to gauge the condition of the fallen worker and assess whether additional help is needed, such as calling for medical assistance. This method emphasizes the importance of safety for all involved as well as the proper steps to take in an emergency.
