Work Safe Australia has developed a First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice to provide practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on what training should be completed. This includes workplaces that are outdoors, mobile or remote. To download a copy of the code of practice go here.
In summary First Aiders should attend training through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), to obtain relevant nationally recognised statements of attainment.
Provide First Aid provides competencies required to recognise and respond to common life-threatening injuries or illnesses, including life-support using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and to manage the casualty and incident until the arrival of medical or other assistance. In low risk workplaces, first aiders are sufficiently trained if they can perform CPR and treat minor illnesses and injuries.
Provide Advanced First Aid – provides additional competencies required to apply advanced first aid procedures. This type of training is suitable for some high risk workplaces.
Provide First Aid in Remote Situations – provides the competencies required to administer first aid in a remote and/or isolated situation, including preparing for aero-medical evacuation. This type of training is suitable for high risk workplaces that are likely to have a major delay in accessing emergency services
