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, NOR’WEST NEWS 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.

2 NOR’WEST [Edition NEWS datE] Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday September 19 2017 21 HEALTH & BEAUTY New branding, new products for family-run health food co The family-owned and locally operated New Zealand Health Food Company (NZHF) has seen steady growth since its launch in 1988. The company was founded by Rob Haines as a way to introduce indigenous products and nutritious ingredients to New Zealand and the rest of the world. He began creating product lines that took advantage of New Zealand’s diverse landscape and pristine ocean waters, including two collections of natural supplements, Kiwi Natural Health and New Zealand Health Food. These were followed by KNH, another natural supplement line, along with Manuka South, which includes products that focus on the healing powers of honey. Now NZHF is introducing some new products – including a long-awaited new line of Manuka honey – and also rebranding itself to reaffirm its place as one of the country’s most popular providers of supplements, super foods and skincare. The rebranding is designed to reflect the growth NZHF has experienced since its inception, with the company’s mission being to continue providing a one-stop shop for health-focused, high-quality products including supplements, super foods, skincare products, sports nutrition and weight management, as well as essential oils. Many are produced using locally sourced ingredients, with the company’s exports helping to introduce the rest of the world to the health benefits offered by the nutrient-dense offerings that are part of New Zealand’s diverse landscape. The centrepiece of NZHF’s rebranding efforts is a new logo, which is an updated, more contemporary version of the company’s original lotus flower. The rebranding also includes an updated, easier to navigate website that will not only include current tools such as a chat box and links to social media, but also new features and a design that will make it easier for customers to find the right products to reach their optimum health goals. Over the three decades that NZHF has been in operation, it has remained privately owned and locally operated. Rob Haines, along with his son, two daughters and son-in-law, are all an integral part of the business and strive to provide quality products at an affordable price, so that health and wellness are available to everyone. Both online and at the retail store, they and their knowledgeable staff are committed to helping customers be the best they can be, in mind, body and spirit. And from Friday September 15 to Monday, September 25, NZHF is having a sale, offering some great specials for their customers. For more information about New Zealand Health Food Company, visit www.nzhealthfood.com or call at the retail store, 215 Woolridge Road, Christchurch, which offers an excellent customer loyalty programme.
