Ensuring a safe work place
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.
