Читать книгу One Hundred Steps: A Practical Guide to the 100 Steps That Can Make Your Workplace Safer - Darren Inc. Kay - Страница 19

Ensuring you have a good spread of first aid coverage in your work place is important for obvious reasons. To ensure you continue to do so, create a sheet of work areas or teams. Identify how many staff in that area/team should be first aid qualified. Then, put a qualified First Aider name there. If you don’t have sufficient names then you will need to get some staff trained.

On this sheet, also make a note of the first aid course expiry/refresher date, so you can manage this training need into the future. At this point, I would put a forward note in your OHS diary, to remind you when the time comes!

This is also a good time to audit the copies of first aid certificates that you keep on file, and be sure to capture them now and in the future!

The sheet should have the following columns on it:

- Team/Area (e.g. reception)

- First Aider Name (e.g. Mary Smith)

- Working Arrangements (e.g. M-Th 9-3.30)

- Date first qualified (e.g. 1/2/2009)

- Next refresher training deadline (e.g. 1/2/2012)

- Copy of FA Cert on file (e.g. Yes)

What to do right now: Create the template, update with your staff and their qualification expiry dates. As most will not know their expiry date, ask them to bring in the certificate, when they find it, so you can make a copy for their personnel records.
