First Aid (FA) Volunteer role
Speed of response is critical for a number of medical emergencies.
The local FA volunteers can often get to a situation faster, because of their physical proximity.
They are trained to provide front-line assistance for major health disruptions, especially important because the University campus-wide Emergency Response Team will have a fair distance to cover to get to many locations on campus, which delays the assistance they bring.
Density of local FA volunteer cover is determined by the nature of local activities and equipment, reflecting the risks colleagues and students are explosed to. -
Train in Emergency First Aid at Work
Would you rather know what to do if a colleague/student were facing a medical emergency?
Speak to your supervisor, or contact Margarita Steinberg (x 7600) to discuss training as a First Aid volunteer. -
First Aid kits
First Aid kits are included in the summary of local First Aid provision for each building (above).
The School has access to First Aid kits located in the public areas (maintained by Estates).
Some labs and workshops also keep First Aid kits for easy access, as part of their risk control measures (maintained by the School).
Contact Margarita Steinberg (x 7600) about getting your First Aid kit replenished or replaced. -
