 Page 1


Our ancient scriptures give great emphasis on safe and sound 
life. Rigveda says, “Self preservation is the first law of nature.”  
Thus, safety and security should be our primary concern. 
However, injuries and accidents cannot be predicted. These 
may occur anywhere and anytime. If they are not managed 
properly, they may have consequences like physical or 
mental disability. Therefore, they need to be prevented and 
managed properly. We try to minimise accidents with the 
help of safety measures. In this chapter we will be learning 
about precautions to keep ourselves safe and secure. First 
aid is essential before advanced medical care is available. 
Drug or substance abuse and its effects and prevention are 
also discussed in this chapter.
Safety at the Work Place Many injuries and accidents are reported at work place as 
well as in playfield. Factors like congested space, faulty 
equipments, improper methodology and carelessness cause 
these. For example, while working with chemicals in chemistry 
laboratory, working with equipment in physics laboratory or 
on playground, one needs to be careful. Every action (with or 
without equipment) govern with proper rules and methodology 
which are helpful to minimise chances of accidents. 
Safety while working with machines
Machines, whether hand operated or automatic, make 
life easy and comfortable. But they may be the cause of 
physical injuries and accidents if not handled carefully. 
There are certain dos and don’ts for safety while working on  
machines —
 • Wash hands to remove oil and grease or use chalk 
powder for proper handling.
 • Avoid wearing loose clothes. They can get entangled 
with machines.

f ir St a id You must have met with certain emergency situations 
when you needed urgent medical treatment but it was not  
available immediately. You might have seen someone 
helping a person by providing first aid and then in reaching  
the hospital. 
What is First Aid?
First aid is the immediate and essential temporary care 
given to a wounded, injured or sick person, in an emergency 
situation to reduce the suffering of the patient, prevent 
further complication of injury or sickness before availing 
professional medical assistance.
Priorities of First Aid
Remember the following priorities before giving first aid — 
 1. Maintain ABC
 a) Airway: Clear the airway if blocked
 b) Breathing: Check breathing and give artificial 
respiration if necessary.
 c) Circulation: Give chest compressions if heart has 
stopped
 2. Check and stop bleeding by applying pressure 
 3. Immobilise broken bones 
 4. Cool the burns
 5. Treat eye, nose and ear injuries
 6. Tie simple bandages and dressings over wounds
 7. Transfer the patient to the nearest health centre
When is First Aid required?
There are many conditions where first aid is required. You 
have studied a few in Class IX.

Safety Mea Sure S for Healt Hy l iving The can be following situations may arise where you 
might need to provide first aid —
The person is unconscious and not breathing
Here CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) is required. It 
is a life saving measure used when the heart and breathing 
has stopped.
Starting CPR within three minutes of heart stoppage is 
very important or else brain will be damaged.
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): Circulation is 
maintained by chest compressions. Draw a line between the 
two nipples and keep the heel of the hand over the centre 
of this line. Place the other hand over it and give chest 
compressions pressing down the breast bone 1.5 to 2 inches.
Fig. 10.1: Giving chest compressions
The ratio of chest compressions to breathing should be 
30:2 (i.e. 30 chest compressions and 2 artificial breaths per 
minute) as we have to provide a heart rate of approximately 
100 beats per minute.
Open the airway: The 
airway is cleared by finger  
sweep if required. Any foreign 
body, secretion, food, broken 
teeth or tongue falling back are 
removed.
The airway is kept open by 
tilting the head backwards and 
lifting the chin upwards.
Fig. 10.2: Head tilt 
and chin lift
Do You Know?
 • CPR (Cardio Pulmonary 
Resuscitation) must 
be given soon after 
breathing has stopped.
 • If you are untrained 
then give CPR only 
through hands for 
100-120 per minute 
and continue until 
signs of movements 
or medical help has 
arrived.
