Have a look at your company safety plan, every number of employees there is a corresponding first aider. Similarly, have a look at your company fire plan there is a corresponding number of trained firefighter and equipment for every number of employees. If you cannot find it then look at the government local laws.

The best way is only practice. Nothing else wouldn't help. Of course that you have a good equipment and great group of guys who are ready to do what you say, especially if you have work in that field, they would look you as a teacher and that would help you a lot. With regards from me.
