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.
SOUTHBRIDGE managed
a convincing 50-14 win over
Southern in the Luisetti Seeds
division 1 combined competition
on Saturday.
Fresh off a bye, Southbridge
took the first 35 minutes to settle
into their work, leading 15-9 at
the break.
Southbridge manager Chris
McMillan said scoring before and
after the break allowed the team
to get back to their systems after
having the previous week off.
STEPPING: Tom Love changes
direction looking for a gap in
Southern’s line.
“To be fair, we were a bit flat
in the first half, but then in the
second things started to click and
that’s when the points came,” he
said.
The Ellesmere side ran in seven
tries to one after 80 minutes.
Southbridge first-five and captain
Shannon Donald bagged 20
points with six conversions, a
penalty and a try.
“He normally grabs a couple
of hundred points each season
and is in really good touch at the
moment,” McMillan said. Southbridge
face Methven on Saturday.
ON THE CHARGE: Alipate
Gonerogo looks to build up
a head of steam.
