Fire Marshals are responsible for a range of duties in the workplace. These include preventative measures, emergency procedures and record keeping. Their role is crucial in ensuring a safe working environment and minimising fire risks.
When was the last time your company did a complete fire evacuation ? Where there lessons learnt ? Who insisted on finishing their call or coffee or worse who insisted on taking their coffee or bag out with them ?
The number of fire marshals in your building will depend upon th e aize and fire risk level of your workplace. A general guideline is one per 50 employee ls in a low risk environment but what about when that one is at lunch off sick or on holiday. This number will also increase in a high risk environment.
Once you’ve done a risk assessment identifying how many you need co tact us. Our comprehensive fire marshal course ensure ls fire marshals are competent in their duties.

Same size as a child’s airway ? Know what to do if someone is choking ? Want to know what to do ? FACT can help drop us a message to find out more

Today is National Lollipop Day. But did you know that just like whole grapes the colourful treats can be a serious choking hazard?

The hard sweet, which is the perfect size and shape to completely block a small child’s airway, can come off the stick and choke a child. This happens silently and if you’re not watching you might not even notice.

Please think twice before giving a lollipop to a young child.

Every student should be taught CPR. Basic life support skills save lives why isn’t it taught on the curriculum because there are other priorities apparently… when was the last time someone died because no-one could remember Pythagoras !

What started as a normal PE class turned into a life-threatening emergency for 16-year-old Sam Mangoro.

One moment he was lining up for a basketball drill, next, he collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest.

Sam only survived because his teachers knew CPR and had access to a defibrillator. Without that, the outcome could have been very different.

This is why CPR training in schools is so important. Every student should know how to respond if a friend or classmate ever needs help.

Not the best view for the first two days of this week but as the Preferred Supplier of First Aid for WHS Plastics Ltd but we’ve had a good start to another FAW course. Getting people trained is key, being conscious of your company’s needs is essential to being industry compliant, WHS are working towards this with another course booked for mid August too.
WHS have carried out an assessment of first aid needs and have booked courses to ensure they are industry compliant.

Employers have a duty of care to employees to provide first aid.

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces.

What is 'adequate and appropriate' will depend on the circumstances in the workplace. This includes whether trained first-aiders are needed. Employers should carry out an assessment of first-aid needs to determine what to provide.

As an employer do you know what your company needs ? For advice more info or to book a course you need FACT get on touch now !

Whatever you do you’re not going to make things worse. Learning CPR can save lives, most people who learn CPR do so in the workplace. When you’re asked at work about attending a First Aid course don’t make excuses not to do it ! Too many emails, an important meeting, a lunch date, a zoom call, all of these will still be there tomorrow but someone suffering a cardiac arrest will not be there tomorrow. Read that again and take it in …
