FIRST AID AND COURSE SETS

Cardiac arrest is a serious medical emergency that requires urgent attention. Quick decision making is crucial in recognising and assessing the situation, calling for medical assistance, and performing CPR procedures. With prompt action, the chance of survival for an unconscious person who is not breathing can be increased.

The ability to perform a rescue from live low voltage (LV) electrical apparatus in an electricity supply industry (ESI) environment requires specific skills and knowledge. This includes understanding the workplace requirements for the inspection and use of live LV panel rescue equipment, as well as how it applies to ESI workers to meet work health and safety (WHS) mobility, and mutual aid requirements. It is crucial to prioritise safety and follow proper procedures to ensure the well-being of all workers involved.

Individuals who are required to work near powerlines or electrical apparatus must prioritize safety. Completing the course will equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to understand compliance requirements for safe approach distances for the worker, plant, tools, and equipment. The course consists of real-life practical skills and knowledge to enable participants to identify and mitigate hazards in their working environment.

Learning how to recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies is crucial as it can make a significant difference in saving someone's life. With the right skills, knowledge, and confidence, you can be prepared to handle any emergency situation that may arise. Don't wait until it's too late, start learning today!

This first aid course provides comprehensive instruction and practical training in line with legal, workplace, and community considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, and other Australian national peak clinical bodies. Participants will learn how to recognize emergencies and provide immediate and effective first aid treatment to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury. The course covers assessing the casualty, providing safety, accessing emergency services, and using resources to provide first aid, such as providing CPR and using a defibrillator, administering an autoinjector for anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, assisting someone choking, using appropriate immobilization techniques for envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains, managing casualties with non-life-threatening bleeding and shock.

In every workplace, workers are exposed to day-to-day activities which involve some kind of manual handling, some more hazardous than others. These tasks are a common cause of injury in the workplace, and as such, understanding how to undertake these tasks safely is imperative. Without manual handling training, employees can make mistakes and even suffer serious injury. This is especially true if an employee is around hazardous substances or activities.
