requirements under SafeWork Australia’s First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice in terms of first aid equipment available to workers, students and visitors to their facilities. Additionally, the Department for Education also has requirements and recommendations for school environments, relating to the number and type of first aid kits and additional modules that need to be present.

Thunderstorm asthma can affect anyone, even those without a history of asthma. Most at risk are people with a history of asthma, unrecognised asthma, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), particularly seasonal hay fever, or an allergy to grass pollen. 3

Schools need to be vigilant on days with thunderstorm forecasts and high or extreme pollen count, particularly in late spring or early summer. Having asthma medication and equipment on site can be lifesaving. 3. Asthma Australia (2017), Thunderstorm asthma.

First Aid in Schools

Overview

The FAiS program is provided free of charge to schools and students, and in addition to gaining invaluable knowledge and skills, each child will receive a gift bag with contents that encourage learning retention and engagement with the first aid topic. The program is specifically designed with the kids’ learning in mind. It is interactive, fun and promises to impart a key set of skills that will empower young people with the ability to act in case of an emergency. Since commencement in 2013, St John SA has taught more than 70,000 South Australian primary school students the lifesaving skills of first aid.

Our free First Aid in Schools (FAiS) program teaches lifesaving first aid skills to primary school children and is available for Reception through to Year 7. Our qualified St John first aid trainers come to your school and deliver a first aid course tailored for children. Class times range from 30 to 90 minutes and are adjusted to suit the children’s ages and your school’s lesson times.

Cardiac arrest can affect anyone Sudden cardiac arrest can affect patients of all ages. The only definitive treatment is a defibrillator shock, which gives the heart a chance to restore a normal rhythm. If a shock is delivered within 3 to 5 minutes of collapse, survival rates can be as high as 70 per cent. 4 Therefore, having an automated external defibrillator (AED) on-site makes a real difference in the crucial time until the ambulance arrives.

17-year-old Tyler Bennett from the Tea Tree Gully District Football Club experienced this firsthand when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on the football field last year.
