Which emergency team member is responsible for assisting an employee with a minor injury?

The question asks to identify the emergency team member responsible for assisting an employee with a minor injury.

• Health & Safety Rep: This role typically focuses on promoting workplace safety, identifying hazards, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations, rather than providing immediate medical assistance for injuries.
• Evacuation Marshall: This individual is responsible for guiding people to safety during an evacuation, ensuring everyone reaches the assembly point.
• Fire Fighter: In a workplace context, a fire fighter (or fire warden) is primarily responsible for initial fire response, using fire extinguishers, and assisting with fire-related emergencies.
• First Aider: A first aider is specifically trained to provide immediate, basic medical care to someone who has been injured or taken ill, before the arrival of professional medical personnel. This directly aligns with assisting an employee in the case of a minor injury.
