Ensuring a safe

BIG NIGHT: The Aranui Eagles picked up a number of accolades at the
Canterbury Rugby League awards.
Aranui Eagles end the
season with big awards
• By Gordon Findlater
THE ARANUI Eagles had
a night to remember at the
recent Canterbury Rugby
League awards at the
Hornby Working Men’s
Club.
A number of the night’s
major awards were taken
home by this year’s Gore
Cup champions, none bigger
than the referee plaque
– club of the year award.
In June, the club celebrated
the completion of
its new changing rooms
at Wainoni Park after
having to use a temporary
container following the
earthquakes.
The year wasn’t without
its lows. The club was in
mourning following the
death of secretary Cathy
Irwin on August 5. She
was a huge loss not only to
the club, but to the local
community.
Irwin, who also
worked with the Aranui
Community Trust, was
remembered for her work
with the club at the awards
evening. Two of Irwin’s
daughters, Cherie Rangihuna
and Shakeena Irwin,
accepted the Rochelle
MacPherson Trophy –
administrator of the year
award on her behalf.
The Eagles also had a
number of other individual
awards go their way
on the night.
Club president Alana
Hema won the RC
Reddock Trophy, the
biggest award for her role.
Meanwhile, Kahi Tipene
picked up the AG Bailey
Cup after finishing as the
top try scorer in this year’s
Massetti Cup.
The Eagles finished the
Massetti Cup round robin
in fifth place.
They then competed
for the Gore Cup, which
is contested between
the bottom four teams
following the round robin.
The Eagles defeated the
Halswell Hornets 24-16
in the semi-final and
then lifted the cup after
defeating the Celebration
Lions 26-20.

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.
