Looks like the casualty in the fettling shop was not using eye protection; at any rate he seems to have got a right eyeful!
From 1836, IK Brunel had been purchasing railway locomotives from various sources. Given the varying quality of these, it was decided a central repair workshops was needed. He put Daniel Gooch in charge of workshops established at Swindon. An apocryphal story suggests that whilst in a train with Gooch, he tossed a sandwich out of the window and said that where it landed they would build the works; geography and logistics is the more likely explanation. The first shed was finished in 1841.
In tandem with the works, a "railway village" was built to house the massive influx of workers. This was laid out as a complete community with houses, health service, school. lending library and a church, similar to other developments such as Bourneville in Birmingham. Health care was provided from subscriptions from wages, and this GWR system was one of the blueprints on which Aneurin Bevan based the National Health Service in 1948.
In the 1960s, Swindon Council applied to demolish much of "New Swindon" but following a campaign led by John Betjeman, it was saved and is today a conservation area with many listed buildings. Following a decline in the post 1960s, the workshops finally closed down in 1986. Today, the complex houses various offices, a designer outlet and the excellent Swindon Steam Museum dedicated to the Great Western Railway; some workshops have been converted into flats, others are in the process of conversion.
Here I am showing the proper look to have on your face if they need to put an band-aid on a cut. Attitude os everything! Grrrrrr!

Day 3 - Mystery Event Level 2. The Level 2 Mystery Event of the 2014 USARPAC Warrior Challenge featured was held at the Medical Simulation Training Center. Events included evaluating a casualty, performing first aid to an extremity, performing first aid in an open abdominal wound and a 9-line MEDEVAC request. The event included an outdoor trauma lane as well as an indoor blood trauma lane. Competitors had to perform tactical medical care in an outdoor environment, as well as treating casualties in an indoor environment with combat sound effects, thus creating a stressful environment.

My take on First was first aid. I already have the final printed on some Mohawk Strathmore Pinstripe paper. The poster size is 26x40.
I was wandering if it would be too much to maybe have like a small drop of blood on the poster somewhere. Maybe on top of the band-aid as if the dried blood was seeping through it. I think it would give a very real feel to the poster but am not sure if it would be overboard.
I had to wait 'till home to take a picture of the great job the Disneyland Paris nurse did on fixing up my poor knee.
It looks a hell of a lot worse then it is honest, in reality it's just a skin wound and a scrape. That browning stuff is just desinfectant cream that leaked through the bandage from walking.
The 'B' Division team, shown here, narrowly lost out to first position in the national competition that year, but won both the 'B' Division and 'F' Division cups. Unfortunately, the names of the officers were not shown with this photo. First Aid training was initiated by the St John's Ambulance Brigade, founded in 1877. The following year, the Metropolitan Police was the first Police Force in the country to take up the training offered.
On March 18, 2013, five members of the Kentuckiana Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders attended a Red Cross blended learning skills session to become First Aid, CPR and AED certified. Prior to the in-person skills session, each member was able to complete online training at their own pace from the comfort of their own home. With a convenient training option now available, the Tiffany Circle has set a goal to have all members trained in First Aid, CPR and AED.

On August 25, the Kentuckiana Region invited businesses from throughout the community to attend the Ready 365 Reception to kick-off the new corporate giving campaign led by Courier-Journal President & Publisher Wes Jackson. While the event was meant to inform, it also inspired. Kentuckiana Region Executive Jennifer Adrio presented Katie Strange with a Certificate of Extraordinary Achievement for her brave actions this past July when she helped save a life.
Strange was at her home in Elizabethtown, Ky. when her neighbor ran over with his infant daughter. The girl was choking on a small toy and was no longer breathing. Using skills she learned in a Red Cross Babysitter training course, Strange dislodged the toy from the infant’s throat saving the child’s life.

Red Cross volunteers and staff kept guests and well-wishers stay safe at and around the royal wedding on Friday 29 April 2011.
On the day, more than 100 British Red Cross volunteers and staff provided first aid cover during the celebrations for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding.
More than 500 hours was spent over three weeks planning for and covering the celebration.
Learning first aid was a lot of fun - especially the gruesome made up wounds which really impressed the girls. The girls learnt how to treat these wounds, bandaging etc under the beautiful shade of a gum tree.
Attendees of the workshop pose for a picture in their self-made raincoats, which they constructed using a black trash bag.

April 23, 2022: I’m so #exhausted tonight. I did day one of my second first aid course with @stjohnambulancebc - Standard #FirstAid - with CPR-C-AED (CSA Intermediate). It’s a two day offering, but to be honest most of the stuff covered today was what was covered in the one day long Emergency First Aid with CPR-C & AED (CSA Basic) that I took a few weeks back. It’s tomorrow will be all new material. Overall, I did appreciate the review, and the chance to practice #CPR more. I also loved how we got to practice placing each other into recovery position as opposed to just placing a dummy into that position (and wow, small world … the young woman I partnered with, actually had a lovely arm tattoo of florals by @tattoosbyjolene … who did my #bee tattoo last September).
In early May, I have Mental Health First Aid which will complete my First Aid exploration for now. Followers of my feed know I have had my own personal struggles with mental health so I’ve seen it from the casualty side, from the side of the one who is suffering. I’m trying to learn about what I experience though, I feel that’s important so this should be a good course to push through.
If I were to study first aid further, it looks like the next levels would involve taking Occupational First Aid Levels 1 and 2, and maybe even level 3. But I don’t really need those right now. Ultimately, these first aid courses for me were always more nice to have, as opposed to need to have, although I do think everyone should get training in this area. I also took the course on working alone - which was good. Even as an artist where part of my garage is setup for doing sculpture work, I feel more confident in knowing what to do should something happen while I’m making art: having someone to checkin with regularly on days I’m in the garage being one example. I have a good first aid kit on hand in my home studio and garage, even when @cutekoalaby was living with me, but I don’t think either of us had the knowledge that can come with taking a few good first aid courses to have been able to have helped each other back then.
Anyway. Time for some sleep.
113/365.

Another little window into how we were. This is the second, 1949 edition of a book brought out in 1939; I suppose the war got in the way of updates. What is surprising is the number of things for the housewife to do that I would have expected the man to do (like I do today), such as changing tap washers or putting up shelves.
Face massaging or gurning?
