Coronavirus COVID 19 – Training Company Policy and Posters1 Fast Action First Aid

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COURSE PARTICIPANTS

Fast Action First Aid Training uphold high infection control standards to ensure the safety of our customers.

As a leader in first aid and CPR training industry, Fast Action First Aid Training set a minimum standard for the sanitation and cleaning of training manikins. These standards are in line with industry standards set by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and manufacturer specifications.

It’s important to note that while the risk of infection from a CPR manikin training is very low, it can be further minimised by using proper cleaning and disinfection procedures (Australian Resuscitation Council).

In the current situation, and amid the current Corona-virus (COVID-19) outbreak, it is important that we give you as much information as possible about the procedures we adhere to in order to maintain a safe environment. We also ask you to assist us in the health and safety of our staff and complete the attached questionnaire about possible exposure risks within your workplace.

IMPORTANT: Course participants with signs of respiratory infections (flu-like symptoms, fever, cough, sore throat) or who have mouth or facial lesions (cold sores, chicken pox, impetigo, wounds) should not participate in group training. If the trainer notices any of these symptoms they will ask you to leave and rebook another session after you have recovered free of charge.

Some steps we take include:

  • Good hand hygiene on the part of instructors and participants before and after use of manikins and throughout the training session.
  • Where hand washing is impractical the use of antiseptic hand rub or gel.
  • The use of gloves in CPR training scenarios.
  • Daily cleaning and sterilisation of training manikins between each use.
  • Daily cleaning and sterilisation of training manikins between each use.
  • Bandages and slings are either disposed of or washed regularly.
  • Using alternative equipment for CPR rescue breaths, such as a Resuscitation mask and one-way valve or bag value mask eliminating the need for mouth-to-manikin breaths.
  • Provision of individual face shields for CPR training manikins, when required.
  • Each student is provided an alcohol wipe to wipe down training manikin prior to use.
  • Bandages and slings are either disposed of or washed regularly.
