ROAR | FIRST AIDBy Kate GouldWhen it comes to theworkplace – safety rulesThere are TWO questions we ask ourselves from time to time: “Would YOU know WHAT to do if afriend or colleague was injured while at work?” and “would YOU know the appropriate stepsto take in order to help them?”Iposed these questions to a fewfriends and to my surprise theknowledge they have is limited orout of date. It is often only those peoplewho work in high risk industries, such asconstruction, who are up-to-date withtheir first aid information.So, who is in charge of first aid inyour work place? Is there a nominatedfirst aid person or is it just everyone forthemselves? Do you have a first aid kitat work and would you know how to useit if you were required to? These are allimportant questions that far too manypeople are unable to answer ‘yes’ to.I recently surveyed 50 people whoworked in different office settings inregard to their knowledge of CPR. Hereis a summary of the results:1. 50% did not know the correct ratio ofcompressions to breaths for CPR2. 50% did not know how far you shouldpush down on the chest3. 60% did not know the correct rate ofcompressions per minute4. 95% were not aware of the newemergency action plan of DRS ABCDWhile some individuals remembered themajority of the techniques from the firstaid courses that they took years ago,most said they would not be confident intreating someone in the workplace withtheir current knowledge and skill set.How up to date are you?• Do you know how to do CPR?• Do you know how to use the materialsin your first aid kit?• Do you know how to use an AED?• Do you know how to treat a burn?Why is it important that you knowwhat to do?According to the Australian Bureauof Statistics:• 5.3% of people experienced a workrelatedinjury or illness.*• Men and women in the 45–49 yearold age group were those whoexperienced the highest rate ofwork-related injury or illness, followedclosely by those aged 20–24 years.*• The most common injuries or illnessessustained were sprains or strains (30%),chronic joint or muscle conditions (18%),and cuts and open wounds (16%).**Australian Bureau of Statistics, Work-Related Injuries,Australia, 2009-10. Based on 12 million people whohad worked at some time in the 12 months.What will I learn?SUSF’s one-day first aid courses arenationally accredited; Aust Swimand Work Cover approved; and willprovide you with the skills, knowledgeand confidence to deal with commonaccidents and injuries, as well as medicalemergencies.Our combined (First Aid andCPR) courses will equip you with thepractical and technical skills that applyto the emergency action plan (DRSABCD), learn the CPR technique, usean automated external defibrillator(AED), treat unconscious casualties, userecovery positions, deal with variousinjuries, and applying bandagesand splints.We also offer refresher courses forboth Apply First Aid and CPR for thosewhose qualifications are about to expireand need to be updated.
