ANSWER: Labor unions can use the power of collective bargaining and strikes to make management listen.

First degree burn is the most minor burn among the three. it only burns the skin Second degree burn is quite serious, it burns the skin and even deeper on it. Third degree burn is the most dangerous burn because it burns even the tissues. ANSWER: Responses will vary. A sample response follows: First-degree burns are the most minor burns, such as mild sunburns and scalding by hot but not boiling water. They redden the skin and cause a small amount of pain. Second-degree burns are more severe than first-degree burns and are typified by blisters and increased pain. Third-degree burns are the most severe and result in a large loss of skin and damage to the nerves in the skin, which actually can make them less painful than second-degree burns despite being far more damaging.

(Side Note: I made this person answer.. doesn't mean it can be correct) In my point of view, avoid panicking is the very first step that needs to be done in responding to life-threatening situations to assess the situation. Tendency if we panic is that we cannot think of any active decisions in order to respond to the situation because we are already panicking and scared. ANSWER: Responses will vary. A sample response follows: Before initiating first aid, the provider needs to assess the situation. If the environment is hazardous, steps may need to be taken before first aid may commence. Effective first aid will not be possible, if either the provider or the victim is in danger of further injury. Only after ensuring that first aid can be provided safely should care actually be provided.
