    FIRST AID PROCEDURES

    PURPOSE

    CQUniversity has an obligation under the Queensland Work Health and Safety Act 2011 to provide asafe and healthy environment for all CQUniversity staff, students, sub-contractors (and their staff) as wellas visitors to the University campuses and/or workplaces. While most business is conducted onUniversity campuses, some activities are conducted off site. These procedures have been developed toprovide a safe system of work to manage first aid facilities in the workplace.

    PROCEDURES

    These procedures apply to all CQUniversity staff, students, contractors, sub-contractors (and their staff)as well as visitors to the University campuses and workplaces. It also specifies the minimumrequirements for the provision and ongoing maintenance of first aid services, personnel training and firstaid equipment for the University. While all staff are encouraged to obtain first aid qualifications as part oftheir personal development, only nominated staff will be appointed as University approved First AidOfficers.

    1 Risk Management

    CQUniversity managers/supervisors will adopt a formal risk management approach (in consultation withstaff) to determine the level of first aid facilities and services (including the numbers of appointed FirstAid Officers and first aid kit contents) that are to be provided in each workplace.

    The five basic steps in the workplace health and safety risk management process set out in the How toManage Work Health and Safety Risks, Code of Practice 2011 must be followed to manage exposure torisks.

    Preparation

    Step 1 Identify all hazards.

    Step 2 Assess the risks these hazards create.

    Step 3 Decide on measures to control the risk.

    Step 4 Implement appropriate control measures.

    Step 5 Monitor the control measures and review the process.

    2 Emergency Contact

    In the event of an emergency the following emergency contacts for CQUniversity are:

    3 Categories of First Aid Personnel

    There are two categories of persons who provide first aid services at CQUniversity workplaces.

    3.1 Appointed First Aid Officers hold a current nationally accredited certificate Apply First Aid andCardiopulmonary Resuscitation, or equivalent qualification and have been approved by theUniversity to receive a specific first aid allowance to undertake first aid activities.

    3.2 Other staff within the University may hold first aid qualifications either as part of their personaldevelopment or have obtained their qualifications privately. These staff members do not havespecific first aid duties and are not paid an allowance by the University.

    4 Number and Placement of Appointed First Aid Officers

    Consideration will be given to: the types of hazards present/identified including the nature of the work,size and location of the workplace, number and distribution of workers present, the frequency ofexposure that may cause an injury or illness, duration of this exposure and the expected severity of theconsequences.

    4.1 The choice of first aid facilities and services should be based on the outcome of the riskassessment process. In making this decision, it is ideal if at least one First Aid Officer is appointedfor each work unit. It is desirable that this person has an alternate who can assume their duty if thenominated person is unavailable. (This may be the appointed First Aid Officer from another workunit.) Remember all University Security staff are appointed First Aid Officers for the whole ofUniversity.

    4.2 It is the responsibility of area managers/supervisors to nominate appropriate staff members asappointed First Aid Officers and to encourage as many staff as possible to receive training in firstaid regardless of whether (or not) these people are appointed as First Aid Officers.

    4.3 An initial audit of the workplace to determine the required first aid staffing levels is to be conductedby area managers/supervisors within one month of the date of approval of these Procedures. TheSafety and Environment Unit can supply information to assist in this survey if requested.

    4.4 In high risk areas, or isolated areas, additional First Aid Officers may need to be appointed at thediscretion of the area manager/supervisor. Supervisors will ensure that the Safety andEnvironment Unit is kept fully informed as to status of appointed First Aid Officers under theircontrol.

    5 Workers Entering a Confined Space

    The first aid requirements for employees entering confined spaces are controlled by Australian and New

    Zealand Standards AS/NZS 2865. This standard requires that First Aid Officers be appointed to everycrew which enters a confined space, and that all other crew members shall be trained inCardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Supervisors shall take this requirement into consideration whendetermining the number of appointed First Aid Officers within their area of responsibility.

    6 After Hours or if a First Aid Officer is Not Available

    All CQUniversity Security Officers hold a current nationally accredited certificate Apply First Aid andCardiopulmonary Resuscitation, or equivalent qualifications. At times when an appointed First Aid Officeris not available, medical assistance should be sought immediately, either by contacting Security staff orQueensland Ambulance Services (QAS).

    7 Nomination for Appointment as a First Aid Officer

    As from the date of approval of these Procedures, any increase in the number of Appointed First AidOfficers must be made with the prior approval of area managers/supervisors. Existing appointed First AidOfficers will retain their appointment whilst there is an identified need, as determined and approved bythe manager/supervisor and their first aid qualifications remain current.

    CQUniversity Campus Management, Area Managers and Supervisors are responsible for the

    submission of the Confirmation of Appointment document to the Safety and Environment Unit, for therelevant award allowance to be paid to the staff member.

    8 Appointment

    The appointment of First Aid Officers will be for the term of the currency of their first aid qualifications,unless specified otherwise by Campus Management, Area Managers and Supervisors who will notify theSafety and Environment Unit of the nomination. An example of this situation may occur when theappointed First Aid Officer is on leave and another staff member temporarily takes on the role for a setperiod of time.

    9 Supply of First Aid Equipment

    CQUniversity Campus Management, Area Managers and Supervisors will provide first aid facilities asper First Aid Code of Practice 2004. These facilities will include first aid kits that will be located inconspicuous and easily accessible locations throughout the workplaces. Additional first aid kits may beprovided for vehicles and plant in cases where employees are required to perform duties in areas wherefirst aid treatment may not be readily available.

    9.1 In a work environment where specific injuries and illness such as burns, lacerations and bites andstings may occur, additional suitable items shall be provided and would be highlighted in theassociated risk assessment completed by the area staff.

    9.2 First aid kits will display the name of the person responsible for the kit plus the appointed First AidOfficer and contact information plus a list of first aid contents and first aid treatment forms.

    9.3 The purchase of specialised first aid equipment for the University such as defibrillator, oxy-vivas,and oxygen therapy equipment will be at the recommendation of the CQUniversity Health, Safetyand Environment Committee. Application for the purchase and inclusion of specialised equipmentas mentioned above will be determined by the risk assessment process and progressed from thearea Health, Safety and Environment Advisory Committee (H,S&EAC) to the University Health,Safety & Environment Committee (H,S&EC) for consideration.

    10 Location and Maintenance of First Aid Kits

    10.1 First Aid Kits are provided in established locations on the various University Campuses and anyrelocation of these kits from this location is to be approved by the Manager, Safety andEnvironment. The physical location of kits can be found on the wall mounted University EvacuationSignage or electronically on the University Fire Evacuation Program (FEP).

    10.2The appointed First Aid Officer is to inspect and maintain the first aid equipment situated withintheir designated workplaces and ensure the kits are replenished with first aid items. The contentsof the first aid kits are maintained to a level by virtue of the activities and the risk of injury. First aidkits should be stocked with disposable items when possible to minimise cross infection. Kits shouldbe regularly checked (at least monthly) to ensure there is adequate stock.

    10.3 In instances where the kit is located inside a wall mounted cupboard the cupboard door will beclearly marked with a white cross on a green background indicating the location of the first aid kit.
