To meet WHS legislations, we can also assist you with first aid drills and procedures so that you and your team are compliant with the Safe Work First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice. Emerging issues Is your workplace first aid ready? Safe Work Australia’s First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice stipulates that the workplace should have easy access to first aid equipment and an adequate number of workers should be trained to administer first aid for the size and risk level of your organisation. Statistics have shown a staggering 13% of employers are compliant with this Code of Practice, while only 31% of Australians feel confident responding to a workplace first aid emergency. Forget the guess-work, St John SA can help you with FREE workplace first aid assessments, as well as restocking services, advice or drills and procedures, so that your workplace can be first aid ready!
