DOTD Secretary Shawn Wilson Announces Additions To
Executive Team
Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Secretary Shawn Wilson, Ph.D. announced today the addition of four members to his executive staff. Myles Brumfield was named Confidential Assistant to the Secretary, Chance McNeely was named the Assistant to the Secretary for Policy, Brigadier General Barry Keeling was named Undersecretary and Joshua Hollins was named Legislative Liaison. Brumfield joins DOTD after serving as Special Assistant to Governor John Bel Ed-wards during the runoff election and throughout the transition to the Governor's Of-fice. A native of Slidell, he graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in mass communication. McNeely began his career as a congressional staffer in Washington, D.C., where he developed an expertise in transportation, agriculture, environmental issues and energy policy. He later served as a policy advisor in the Governor's Office where he was the liaison to DOTD and several other state agencies. He most recently served as an as-sistant secretary at the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. Keeling comes to DOTD after serving as the Director of the Joint Staff for the Loui-siana National Guard since 2011. He was responsible for directing, supervising, train-ing, and coordinating the Joint Staff and assisting the adjutant general in the deploy-ment and coordination of programs, policies, and plans affecting more than 11,000 citizen soldiers and airmen. Hollins served as the Community and Legislative Liaison at the Office of the Louisi-ana Attorney General since 2013. He brings an expertise in working with state and local government and public outreach experience to DOTD. In addition, he worked for the Louisiana House of Representatives from 2009 to 2013. “We have a lot to accomplish as we work to improve the Louisiana’s infrastructure,” Wilson said. “Each member of the team brings unique experiences and talents. Myles, Chance, Barry and Joshua are well-suited for their roles and will be valuable assets to our team as we address our state's transportation needs.”

Medical and First Aid It is a requirement of OSHA that employees be given a safe and healthy workplace that is reasonably free of occupational hazards. How-ever, it is unrealistic to expect accidents not to happen. Therefore, employers are required to provide medical and first aid personnel and supplies commensurate with the hazards of the workplace. The OSHA First Aid Standard (29 CFR 1910.151 requires trained first aid providers at all workplace of any size If there is no infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace which is used for the treatment of all injured employees.
What is First Aid?
First aid refers to medical attention that is usually administered immediately after the injury occurs and at the location where it occurred. It often consists of a one-time, short-term treatment and requires little technology or training to administer. First aid can include cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, or scratches; treating a minor burn; applying bandages and dressings; the use of non-prescription medicine; draining blisters; removing debris from the eyes; massage; and drinking fluids to relieve heat stress.
Employers Responsibilities
Provide First Aid Supplies and Equipment In order to administer effective first aid, it is important to maintain adequate supplies in each first aid kit. It is advisable for the employer to give a specific person the responsibility for choosing the types and amounts of first aid supplies and for maintaining these supplies. The supplies must be adequate, should reflect the kinds of injuries that occur, and must be stored in an area where they are readily availa-ble for emergency access. An automated external defibrillator (AED) should be considered when selecting first-aid supplies and equip-ment. First aid kits can be purchased commercially already stocked with the necessary supplies, or one can be made by including the fol-lowing items:
• Adhesive bandages: available in a large range of sizes for minor cuts, abrasions and puncture wounds
• Butterfly closures: these hold wound edges firmly together.
• Rolled gauze: these allow freedom of movement and are recommended for securing the dressing and/or pads. These are especially good for hard-to-bandage wounds.
• Nonstick Sterile Pads: these are soft, super absorbent pads that provide a good environment for wound healing. These are recom-mended for bleeding and draining wounds, burns, infections.
• First Aid Tapes: Various types of tapes should be included in each kit. These include adhesive, which is waterproof and extra strong for times when rigid strapping is needed; clear, which stretches with the body's movement, good for visible wounds; cloth, recom-mended for most first aid taping needs, including taping heavy dressings (less irritating than adhesive); and paper, which is recom-mended for sensitive skin and is used for light and frequently changed dressings.
• Items that also can be included in each kit are tweezers, first aid cream, thermometer, an analgesic or equivalent, and an ice pack. More Importantly Employers Should………
• Identify and assess the workplace risks that have potential to cause worker injury or illness.
• Design and implement a workplace first aid program.
• Assign and train first aid providers.
• Instruct all workers about the first aid program, including what workers should do if a coworker is injured or ill. Putting the policies and program in writing is recommended to implement this and other program elements.
• Provide for scheduled evaluation and changing of the first aid program to keep the program current and applicable to emerging risks in the workplace, including regular assessment of the adequacy of the first-aid training course.

Employees Should…….. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR ALL INJURIES It is very important for you to get immediate treatment for every injury, regardless how small you may think it is. Many cases have been reported where a small unimportant injury, such as a splinter wound or a puncture wound, quickly led to an infection, threatening the health and limb of the employee. Even the smallest scratch is large enough for dangerous germs to enter, and in large bruises or deep cuts, germs come in by the millions. Immediate examination and treatment is necessary for every injury. REPORT ALL INJURIES TO YOUR SUPERVISOR As with getting medical attention for all injuries, it is equally important that you report all injuries to your supervisor. It is critical that the employer check into the causes of every job-related injury, regardless how minor, to find out exactly how it happened. There may be un-safe procedures or unsafe equipment that should be corrected. This article was complied from the OSHA website. Our intent is to provide general information that may be of assistance to employers in protecting their employees from injuries. For more information about this topic and other safety related topics, please visit www.osha.gov. First aid is important because it can help save lives. So, please share this information with your employees.
