2 months ago, I released an article about the First Aid in the Workplace Regulations, 2023, highlighting how the new rules are straightforward, aligned with OSHA 2007, and an improvement in first aid box content and emergency response et al. However, the need for a separate first aid audit was a story for this day, and here are my thoughts. What are yours?

Regulation 14 of The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations states that every window or other transparent or translucent surface in a wall or partition and every transparent or translucent surface in a door or gate shall, where necessary for reasons of health and safety: ·       be of safety material or be protected against breakage of the transparent or translucent material; ·       be appropriately marked or incorporate features so as, in either case, to make it apparent. These laws and regulations are relevant to commercial and public-sector buildings, as well as schools and educational institutions. It applies to duty holders, directors, managers, or headmasters in cases where there is a lack of glass risk assessment or no permanent documentation of glass types or enhancements. #Health #Safety #Law #Legislation #Everywindowneedablind

What to do in an emergency? 🚨 Gietz employees complete the first-aid course At Gietz AG, the health and safety of employees is a top priority. For this reason, Gietz AG organized a company paramedic course for employees in collaboration with the Gossau Samaritan Association. This course provided comprehensive training on how to act correctly in emergency situations - crucial knowledge that can save lives in an emergency. 🆘 Twelve employees volunteered to take part in this life-saving course. They were trained in dealing with various emergency situations such as unconsciousness, burns or deep cuts. For example, they learned the FAST scheme for suspected strokes, how to apply a pressure bandage correctly and how to carry out CPR measures. "We have learned a lot and at the same time hope that we never have to use this knowledge." We are aware that we are not professionals, but as the quote says: "Doing nothing is wrong." 🔝 Employees are now better prepared to react correctly in an emergency and thus make an important contribution to occupational safety. A big thank you goes to the Gossau Samaritan Association, who taught employees important first aid skills as part of the company paramedic course. #gietzag #firstaid #learntohelp
