Training Objectives

Distinguish between fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains

Apply the RICE method to manage swelling and stabilize injured limbs

Course Overview

Musculoskeletal injuries are incredibly common in the workplace, often resulting from slips, trips, falls, or overexertion.

This course teaches you how to identify the signs of fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains—and how to respond to each. You will learn the critical "RICE" protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) to manage pain and swelling effectively. We also cover the essential rules of stabilization: why you should never try to "straighten" a limb and how to support a suspected break until professional help arrives. Whether it’s a simple twisted ankle or a serious compound fracture, knowing how to provide immediate care can prevent further tissue damage and significantly speed up the victim's long-term recovery.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments (the tissue connecting bones), while a strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon (the tissue connecting muscle to bone).

No. Never attempt to "pop" a bone back into its socket. This can cause severe damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and ligaments. Immobilize the joint in the position you found it and seek medical help.

Signs of a fracture include deformity, inability to move the limb, a "grating" sensation, or bone protruding through the skin. If you are unsure, always treat the injury as a fracture and immobilize it.

Apply a cold pack (wrapped in a cloth) for 15 to 20 minutes every few hours during the first 24 to 48 hours. Avoid applying ice directly to the skin to prevent frostbite.

Elevate the injured area above the level of the heart whenever possible. This uses gravity to help reduce swelling and fluid buildup at the injury site.
