IMPORTANT INFORMATION

First aid provides the initial care required by the casualty prior to the attendance of emergency services.

First aid provides the initial care required by the casualty prior to the attendance of emergency services. Therefore, it is a vital part of the process for saving lives, prevention of permanent incapacitation and may assist in early return to work and rehabilitation in the future. When rendering assistance remember to stay calm as this will help keep the casualty calm also. For all life-threatening and time-critical medical conditions call for an Ambulance or Emergency services immediately.

1 first aider for every 25 workers

AID KITS Basic first aid kit plus additional equipment identified for specific risks FIRST AIDERS

FIRST AID KITS

AID ROOMS Recommended for 100 workers or more

STEP ONE

IDENTIFY POTENTIAL CAUSES OF WORKPLACE INJURY AND ILLNESS

• Does the nature of the work being carried out pose a risk to peoples health and safety?

• Have these risks been identified in work that is being carried out?

• Do any workers or others have pre-existing medical conditions?

• Has incident, injury and illness data been reviewed?

• Have you consulted with workers and their health and safety representatives?

• Is specialist or external assistance required?

STEP TWO

ASSESS THE RISK OF WORKPLACE INJURY AND ILLNESS

• How often does a risk have the potential to cause harm?

• What types of injuries or illnesses would the risks cause?

• How serious are the injuries or illnesses?

• Does the number and composition of workers and other people affect how first aid should be provided?

• Could the size or the location of the workplace affect how first aid is provided?

AID ROOMS

1 first aider for every 10 workers

In addition to the basic first aid kit:

• Heavy-duty 10cm crepe bandage for snake bites

• Large clean sheeting for covering burns

• Thermal blanket for treating shock

• Whistle and torch or light for attracting attention

• Any equipment identified for specific risks

STEP THREE

WHAT FIRST AID IS REQUIRED?

FIRST AIDERS

• How many first aiders are needed?

• What competencies do they require?

• What training do they need?

FIRST AID KITS AND FACILITIES

• What kits or modules are needed and where should they be located?

• Is other first aid equipment needed?

• Who is responsible for maintaining the kits?

STEP FOUR

REVIEW

• Review first aid to ensure effectiveness.

• Is a first aid room required? FIRST AID PROCEDURES

• What procedures are needed for the workplace?

FIRST AID IN THE WORKPLACE

Providing immediate and effective first aid to workers or others who have been injured or become ill at work may reduce the severity of the injury or illness and promote recovery.

Providing immediate and effective first aid to workers or others who have been injured or become ill at work may reduce the severity of the injury or illness and promote recovery. In some instances, this could mean the difference between life and death. Persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) are responsible for providing, as far as is reasonably practicable, a safe working environment and adequate facilities for the welfare of their workers.

HIGH RISK WORKPLACE

A workplace where workers are exposed to hazards that could result in serious injury or illness and would require first aid. Examples of workplaces that may be considered high risk are ones in which workers:

• Use hazardous machinery, for example;

- Mobile plant, chainsaws, power presses and lathes.

• Use hazardous substances, for example;

- Chemical manufacturers, laboratories, horticulture, petrol stations and food manufacturing.

• Are at risk of falls that could result in serious injury, for example;

What do I need to consider?

The risk can be considered low or high depending on the workplace.

A low risk workplace is one where workers are not exposed to hazards that could result in serious injury or illness. Examples of low risk workplaces include offices, shops or libraries. Potential work-related injuries and illnesses requiring first aid would be minor in nature.

A high-risk workplace refers to a workplace where workers are exposed to hazards that could result in serious injury or illness and would require first aid, for example factories or motor vehicle workshops.

Summary

The 2011 Work Health and Safety Regulations place specific obligations on PCBUs to:

• Provide first aid equipment and make sure each worker has access to equipment.

• Ensure access to facilities to administer first aid.

• Ensure an adequate number of workers are trained to administer first aid in the workplace or that workers have access to an adequate number of people who are trained in first aid.

• Ensure workers are aware of information and know how to carry out first aid.

The Code of Practice on First Aid in the Workplace outlines how many first aiders different sorts of workplaces should have:

• Low risk workplaces—one first aider for every 50 workers.

• High risk workplaces—one first aider for every 25 workers.

- Construction and stevedoring.

• Carry out hazardous forms of work, for example;

- Working in confined spaces, welding, demolition, electrical work and abrasive blasting.

• Are exposed to the risk of physical violence, for example;

- Working alone at night, cash handling or having customers who are frequently physically aggressive.

• Work in or around extreme heat or cold, for example;

- Foundries and prolonged outdoor work in extreme temperatures.

LOW RISK

WORKPLACE

A workplace where workers are less likely to be exposed to hazards that could result in serious injury or illness. For example, offices, shops and libraries. Work-related injuries and illnesses requiring first aid are likely to be minor in nature.

• Low hazard exposure, for example;

- No exposure to hazards that could result in a serious injury/illness (as described below) requiring immediate medical attention.

• Business location, for example;

- The business is located where medical assistance/ambulance services are readily available.

DEFIBRILLATOR RANGE

DEFIBRILLATORS ARE MORE PROMINENT IN COMMON PUBLIC AREAS AND IN WORKPLACES ASSISTING IN THE CASE OF SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST (SCA).

An AED is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

Defibrillators are sophisticated life-saving devices that restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric pulse or shock to the heart. They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, a heartbeat that is uneven or that is too slow or too fast. Defibrillators can also restore the heart’s beating if the heart suddenly stops, known as Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCD), a condition that occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops pumping due to an underlying medical condition.

• Every minute that passes without defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10%.

• Using a Defibrillator within the first few minutes can increase survival rate to as high as 70%.

AED’s are designed for use by untrained or briefly trained layperson and contain technology for analysis of heart rhythms. As a result, it does not require a trained health provider to determine whether or not a rhythm is shockable.
