Faridabad, 14 May (Naveen Gupta): Basic First Aid procedures and steps should be known to as many employees as possible in each organisation – said Mr. J.P. Malhotra, President HSPC in his address at the start of 3-day Training Programme organised by HSPC from 12th May onwards. Accidents do not wait. Prevention and treatment can reduce the misery and suffering of the injured and loss of man hours of the organisation.
