Have you ever been the first individual at the scene of a serious accident? I have – a cyclist took a corner rather fast and too sharp. He came off his bike and was knocked unconscious. I went over, but I had no concept what to do. I felt sorry for him because I could not help and I was embarrassed for myself and still do, ten years later.
This is why everybody ought to know the fundamentals of First Aid. Everyone should know how to make an accident victim comfortable and how to resuscitate him or her if you have to until medical personnel arrive.

China chemical plant blast kills 13
BEIJING: An explosion ripped through a north China chemical factory Tuesday, killing at least 13 people and injuring 43, the government said of the latest industrial accident to strike the nation.
The impact of the blast, which occurred near Shijiazhuang city, capital of Hebei province, was felt in at least three nearby villages, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Photographs posted on the Internet purportedly of the blast site showed a large crater surrounded by debris. The walls of several workshops that surrounded the site had been destroyed.
The cause of the blast is still under investigation and rescue efforts are ongoing, the State Administration of Work Safety said on its website. The casualty toll came from a preliminary report, the administration said, indicating it could rise. Safety standards are regularly flouted in China, and workplace accidents remain common despite repeated pledges by the government to improve regulations and oversight. Nearly 50,000 people died in work-related accidents in the first nine months of 2011, the administration said earlier. afp
