NOR’WEST NEWS Tuesday October 4 2016 17 CONTINUING EDUCATION Southern Institute of Technology Ensuring a safe work place Monique VanRooyen is a perfect example of how the Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) assists full time workers to move forward in their career. Working in administration at SIT for nine years, Monique jumped at the opportunity to upskill in her Administration Management career with the National Certificate in Project Management (Level 4) in June 2016. The 18-week blended delivery course not only offered the content she needed to take a step forward, but its flexible hours made both studying and working viable, she said. “The biggest benefit is being able to do the course outside of work hours and also the fact that lectures are fortnightly, which allows time to complete each assignment.” Though only half way through the Project Management certificate, she said it had already increased her confidence to talk in front of large groups and had given her Monique VanRooven a better understanding of business dealings. “I enjoy the tutor’s lecturing style, he has a lot of industry based knowledge and experience in this area which enables us to grasp the concepts [of Project Management] a lot easier.” Monique said she would “definitely” recommend the course to anyone interested in a managing environment on any level, especially those looking to excel in their existing role. LeARNINg fIRST aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? Not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. It is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. Take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPR. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. New Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in Australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace. The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. If you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.
