Implement first aid documentation effectively and in compliance with the GDPR

The WERO rescue blanket is an indispensable aid in any emergency situation, whether for accidents, outdoor adventures or in emergency medicine. It consists of a film coated on both sides with a gold and a silver side, which protects against both extreme cold and excessive heat. This lightweight and flexible blanket is a standard item in any first aid kit or first aid kit and provides reliable protection from the elements at critical moments. What is a rescue blanket and how does it work? A rescue blanket, also known as an emergency blanket, is an indispensable first aid tool that protects the body from external influences such as cold or heat in extreme situations. The rescue blanket is made of a thin, metal-coated plastic material and provides effective thermal insulation. It works by reflecting body heat and thus minimising heat loss to the environment. This is particularly important to prevent hypothermia in the event of an accident or after severe blood loss, when the body is particularly susceptible to a drop in temperature. As well as protecting against the cold, the rescue blanket can also be used to protect the body from overheating by reflecting the sun's rays and thus reducing the effect of heat. Its ease of use and versatility make it an indispensable aid in emergency situations, whether in the medical field, during outdoor activities or in everyday use.The rescue blanket can be used in first aid as well as in various other scenarios such as natural disasters, hiking or camping. Its compact size and light weight make it a practical and indispensable part of any emergency kit.Protection from the cold: golden side facing outwardsThe golden side of the rescue blanket protects the body from the cold. When this side is facing outwards, the body heat is reflected and returned to the body so that a large proportion of the heat is released into the environment. This is particularly important in situations where there is a risk of hypothermia, e.g. after an accident outdoors or in a cold environment. By reflecting your own body heat, the rescue blanket can help to stabilise your body temperature and prevent life-threatening hypothermia.Protection from heat: silver side facing outwardsThe silver side of the rescue blanket is ideal for protecting the body from extreme heat and strong sunlight. When this side is facing outwards, it reflects the sun's rays and thus reduces the direct heat effect on the body. This helps to prevent overheating by reducing the heat input from outside. This use of the rescue blanket is particularly useful in hot climates or in direct sunlight to keep the body cool and prevent heat stress.Advantages of the WERO rescue blanketThe WERO rescue blanket offers comprehensive protection against extreme weather conditions, be it rain, wind, heat or cold. Thanks to its special design, it reflects up to 90% of body heat and is therefore an effective protection against the cold, minimising the risk of hypothermia. At the same time, it protects against overheating by reflecting strong sun rays. Thanks to its lightweight and flexible construction, it is easy to transport and simple to use, whether for emergencies at work, road accidents or outdoor activities such as skiing, mountaineering or sailing. With a size of 160 x 210 cm, the rescue blanket offers sufficient surface area to completely cover the body and provide optimum protection.When is a rescue blanket used?Rescue blankets are used in a variety of situations where the body needs to be protected from extreme weather conditions or temperatures. Common areas of use are:First aid in accidents: In the event of road accidents or other emergencies involving injured people or people in shock, the rescue blanket is used to maintain body heat and prevent hypothermia. It is placed over the injured person to minimise heat loss, which is particularly important in cold environments.Hiking and outdoor activities: Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts often carry a rescue blanket to protect themselves in the event of sudden weather changes or accidents. It can be used in an emergency to protect you from the cold or rain if you are in remote areas and help is not immediately available.Emergency medicine and rescue services: Rescue services and emergency doctors use rescue blankets to protect patients during transport. This is particularly important to prevent the patient's condition from deteriorating further due to external influences such as cold or heat.Natural disasters: During disasters such as earthquakes, floods or storms, rescue blankets are often distributed to protect survivors from the elements, especially if they are homeless or cut off from their shelters.Sporting events: At marathons or other sporting events, runners are often given rescue blankets after crossing the finish line to prevent rapid heat loss after physical exertion, especially in cool weather.

In accordance with DGUV Regulation 1 - Principles of Prevention, every first aid service in the company must be documented. The records must be kept confidentially and for at least five years. In practice, however, this documentation is inadequate and can jeopardise the insurance cover provided by the BG. The notepad developed by WERO for entry in the first-aid book fulfils both the requirements of operational practice and of the BG in a simple way: The first-aid service is noted on site, the notepad is then handed over at the next opportunity to the person responsible for keeping and storing the first-aid book, who transfers it. This way it is documented neatly and confidentially without having to interrupt the work.

The WERO reporting block is specially designed for the documentation of first aid services in the company and meets the requirements of DGUV Information 204-021. This reporting block ensures complete and legally compliant recording of all first aid measures, which is crucial for the safety and well-being of employees.Complete and secure documentationWith 50 perforated sheets in a practical DIN A5 format, the WERO report pad offers sufficient space for the detailed recording of every first-aid measure. The sheets are perforated so that they can be easily torn off and stored securely to prevent unauthorised access. A pre-printed sample page makes it easy to fill in so that no important information is overlooked.Practical protection for confidential informationStoring the completed pages separately, e.g. in a letterbox, ensures that sensitive information is protected and can only be viewed by authorised persons. This complies with data protection requirements and ensures a high level of confidentiality when handling personal data.Advantages and areas of applicationLegally compliant recording: fulfils the requirements of DGUV Information 204-021 for the documentation of first aid services.User-friendly: A completed sample page helps to record all relevant data correctly and completely.Secure data protection: The separate storage of the sheets protects against unauthorised access.Compact format: The handy DIN A5 format is ideal for use at the workplace and when travelling.
