Choose the best burn care
At work and at home, there is a chance of an accident and therefore the chance of burns. Did you know that burns are in the highest category of serious injury? Do you know what you or your emergency response officer should do when providing first aid in this case? In this blog, we will give you some tips and solutions when suffering burns.
How does a burn occur?
Burns can occur during sports, cooking or work. Hot water over the skin, an accident at work with chemicals, for example, a slide over the lawn or floor, or burning from walking in the sun for too long. These are a few examples where it is important to provide the correct burn care immediately. This is to limit harmful consequences, in the long term and on a larger scale. After all, the skin is very vulnerable and must be cared for properly.
The impact of burns
