It is a truism that in an accident or medical emergency, the provision of correct first aid saves lives. This is especially true in the mines and the Mine Medical Officers鈥� Association brought out the first First Aid manual for black miners in 1930. Many black miners at that stage had low literacy levels and it was important that they could understand the manual. Students of language and communication as well as first aid will find these editions of the First Aid manual of great interest.
