Co-op Academy Stoke-on-Trent

FIRST AID POLICY

Revised: February 2021

Introduction

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide trained persons, equipment etc,  to deal with First Aid emergencies and ill health occurring at work. This policy outlines the Co-operative Academy  of Stoke-on-Trent’s responsibility to provide adequate and appropriate first aid to pupils, staff, parents and visitors  and the procedures in place to meet that responsibility. This document should be read in conjunction with the  Health and Safety Policy and Medical Treatment Policy

The Academy recognises that First Aid can save lives and prevent minor injuries becoming major ones. This  document has been prepared to provide guidance on the policy and procedures for dealing with First Aid at the  Co-operative Academy of Stoke-on-Trent. The requirements for the statutory provision of First Aid have been  taken fully into account to ensure that adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and qualified first aid  personnel will be provided. Failure to implement the procedures contained in this document could result in a  criminal offence as well as disciplinary action being taken by the Academy. This policy is informed by the  Department of Education’s Guidance on First Aid for Schools and is reviewed annually.

Aims

• To identify the first aid needs of the Academy in line with the Management of Health and Safety at Work  Regulations 1992 and 1999.

• To ensure that First Aid provision is available at all times while people are on Academy premises, and  also off the premises whilst on Academy visits.

Objectives

• To appoint the appropriate number of suitably trained people as Appointed Persons and First Aiders to  meet the needs of the Academy.

• To provide relevant training and ensure monitoring of training needs

• To provide sufficient and appropriate resources and facilities

• To inform staff and parents of the Academy’s First Aid arrangements

• To keep accident records and to report to the HSE as required under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases  and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995.

Academy First Aid Staff

V2.0 Final

Personnel

The Principal  

The Principal is responsible for the health and safety of all employees and anyone else on the premises. This  includes the teachers, non-teaching staff, students and visitors (including contractors).

They must ensure that a risk assessment of the Academy is undertaken regularly and that the appointments,  training and resources for first aid arrangements are appropriate and in place.

They should ensure that the insurance arrangements provide full cover for claims arising from actions of staff acting  within the scope of their employ.

The Principal is responsible for putting the policy into practice and for developing detailed procedures.

The Principal should ensure that the policy and information on the Academy’s arrangements for first aid are made  available to parents.

All teachers and other staff are expected to do all they can to secure the welfare of the students.

First Aiders and Lead First Aider

Definitions

A First Aider is a person who has attended, successfully completed and has a valid certificate for the 4 day ‘First  Aid at Work’ training course approved by the HSE. This is a voluntary post.

Lead First Aider is the person who has been appointed to oversee the first aid provision in the Academy and who  monitors the provision and the training for the First aiders.

First Aid means the following:

● cases where a person will need help from a medical practitioner or nurse;  

● treatment for the purpose of preserving life and minimising the consequences of injury and illness until  such help is obtained;

● treatment of minor injuries which would otherwise receive no treatment or do not need treatment by a  medical practitioner or nurse.

Identification of Suitable Employees

In selecting First-Aiders, the Principal should consider the person’s:

• Reliability and communication skills

• Aptitude and ability to absorb new knowledge and learn new skills

V2.0 Final

• Ability to cope with stressful and physically demanding emergency procedures • Normal duties. A First Aider must be able to leave to go immediately to an emergency,

The Principal must ensure that candidates are fully briefed on the role and requirements of being a First Aider.  They must understand the health risks associated with rendering First Aid and be prepared to receive  appropriate health and immunisation advice.  

Role and Responsibilities of Lead First Aider and First Aiders  

A Lead First Aider is someone who:  

● Takes charge when someone is injured or becomes ill

● Looks after the first-aid equipment e.g. restocking the first-aid container

● Ensures that an ambulance or other professional medical help is summoned when appropriate.

Lead First Aiders are First Aiders. They should give first aid treatment for which they have been trained.  What to do in an emergency;

● Cardiopulmonary resuscitation;

● First aid for the unconscious casualty;

● First aid for the wounded or bleeding.

Emergency first aid training should help an Appointed Person cope with an emergency and improve their  competence and confidence.  

The First Aider’s and Lead First Aider’s role includes:

● The administration of First Aid, up to but not exceeding the level of their training

● Ensuring that any incident and treatment given is recorded in a suitable local register

● Reporting immediately to the Principal, by telephone, all incidents requiring the attendance of a student,  member of staff or any person at hospital.  

● Ensuring that all spillages of body fluids are cleared up promptly

● Maintaining stocks in First Aid kit/box (see appendix B) and

● Ensuring, in liaison with management that appropriate documentation is completed and that reportable  accidents are reported to the line manager as soon as possible after dealing with the immediate effects.

The First Aider’s and Lead First Aider’s responsibilities include:  

● Attending an initial approved training course approved by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) ● Ensuring their own recommended immunisations/injections are up to date

● Reporting any illness or injuries (to the Health and Safety Officer and Principal) which would preclude  their abilities to administer First Aid, in order for the Academy to arrange alternative cover.

V2.0 Final

● First Aiders also have a responsibility to attend a three-yearly refresher training course - they should  attend this course before the expiry of their previous accreditation or they will have to complete the initial  training course again.

First Aid should be provided where a person will need further medical treatment until such help arrives, and for the  treatment of minor injuries. It should be noted that the treatment of minor illnesses, by the administration of tablets  or medicines, falls outside the definition of First Aid (see Medical Treatment Policy).

The role of the First Aider is to provide care after an accident or injury including preserving life, minimising further  damage and making the patient as comfortable as possible until professional medical or nursing help is available.  It is not to give treatment.

The role of a member of staff discovering a serious injury or illness is to make contact with the school office and,  when necessary, take charge until qualified assistance is available.

Office staff will then contact a first aid qualified person and may also contact the emergency services.  

The First Aider will decide on whether or not the ill or injured party should move, be moved, or remain undisturbed,  and may have to take other appropriate action, depending on the assessment of the situation.  

In the case of a serious incident, available staff should also seek to ensure the safety and welfare of other pupils  in the area.

Indemnity and Insurance

Where an employee acting in the course of their employment administers First Aid assistance to another employee  or other person in the charge of the Academy, such as a student, they will be indemnified by the liability insurance  for a claim of negligence relating to injury or loss caused by their actions, provided that:

● they are an Academy officially designated First Aider with a current valid First Aid at Work Certificate  and have attended relevant refresher training;

● the relevant protective equipment (PPE) is used;

● the First Aider or Appointed Person is adhering to protocols and acting within the limitations of their  training and the First Aider or Appointed Person is acting in good faith.

Use of the ‘Epi Pen’

Members of staff who have been trained in the use of the ‘Epi Pen’ whether by a parent, user or medical staff, will  also be covered provided that:

● The member of staff is adhering to protocols and acting within the limitations of their training and ● That the member of staff is acting in good faith.

Procedures

Risk assessment

Reviews are required to be carried out at least annually, and when circumstances alter, at the request of the  Principal. Recommendations on measures needed to prevent or control identified risks are forwarded to the  Principal.

Re-assessment of First-Aid provision

V2.0 Final

As part of the Academy’s annual monitoring and evaluation cycle

• The Principal reviews the Academy’s first-aid needs following any changes to staff, building/site, activities,  off-site facilities, etc

• The designated Health and Safety Officer monitors the number of trained First Aiders, alerts them to the  need for refresher courses and organises their training sessions

• The designated Health and Safety Officer also monitors the emergency first-aid training received by other  staff and organises appropriate training

• The Lead First Aider checks the contents of the First-Aid boxes termly

Providing information

The Principal will inform all staff (including those with reading and language difficulties) of the first-aid  arrangements, including the location of equipment, facilities and first-aid personnel, and the procedures for  monitoring and reviewing the Academy's first-aid needs.

The Health and Safety Officer  

• Provides information packs for new staff as part of their induction programme • Maintains a first-aid notice board in the staff room

• Gives all staff information on the location of equipment, facilities and first-aid personnel. This will appear  in the staff handbook.

First aid Notices will be displayed in a prominent place. First aid information will also be made available in the  Academy Staff handbook.

Provision

How many First aid personnel are required?

The Principal will consider the findings of the risk assessment in deciding on the number of first aid personnel  required. Academies are low risk environments, but the Principal will consider the needs of specific times, places  and activities in deciding on their provision.

In particular, they should consider:

• Off-site PE

• Academy trips

• Science labs

• DT/Art rooms

• Adequate provision in case of absence, including trips

• Out-of-hours provision e.g. clubs, events

Arrangements should be made to ensure that the required level of cover of First Aiders is available at all times  when people are on Academy premises.

V2.0 Final

First Aiders

The recommended number of certified First-Aiders is one per 100 students/staff.

Appointed person

The Academy will appoint one Appointed Person to co ordinate the work of the First Aiders and to monitor training  needs and provision throughout the Academy.  

Qualifications and Training

First Aiders will hold a valid certificate of competence, issued by an organisation approved by the HSE. Specialist training in first aid for children should be arranged in a three-year cycle.

First-aid materials, equipment and facilities

The Principal must ensure that the appropriate number of first aid containers according to the risk assessment of  the site, are available. See HSE guidelines on recommended and mandatory contents.

● All first aid containers must be marked with a white cross on a green background ● Each Academy bus must carry a first aid container

● First aid containers must accompany PE teachers off-site

First aid containers should be kept near to hand washing facilities and can be found in the following areas:

● Science prep room

● Student services

● Food Technology

● Technology  

● Reception

● PE Department

First Aid Containers  

A schedule showing the locations of first aid containers will be made available. The Lead First aider will check all  containers each month. Any person who uses an item from a first aid container should inform the Lead First Aider  as soon as possible so that it can be replaced.

Items will be discarded safely after the expiry date has passed.  

Responsibility for checking and restocking the first aid containers:

● In the Academy, the Health and Safety Officer or Academy Nurse

● On buses, the Transport Manager

● For off-site PE, a named member of the PE department

Accommodation

The Principal must provide a suitable room for medical treatment and care of children during Academy hours. This  need not be a dedicated area but should be close to a lavatory and contain a washbasin.

V2.0 Final

Control of Infection

Many blood-borne micro-organisms have the capacity to infect a first aider should blood from an already infected  casualty enter an open wound or sore on the person of the first aider, for example Hepatitis.

The HIV virus is not readily transmitted in this way and only a small number of cases of cross infection are  documented in health care circles, usually involving heavily infected patients in the latter stages of their  condition.

However, the emergence of HIV/AIDS has served to concentrate attention on sensible and routine protective  measures which should always be employed during the treatment of bleeding wounds, regardless of the health  or otherwise of the casualty.

As it is impossible to be sure of who is, or is not, infected with these viruses the following precautions should be  taken by first aiders:

● Treat all casualties as if they are carriers of a virus

● Always cover open wounds on your own hands with a waterproof adhesive dressing

● Where practical, a pair of disposable gloves (latex or nitrile) should be worn when dealing with bleeding  or when cleaning up body fluids or excreta

● All used gloves, waste dressings and other contaminated waste should be placed in a plastic bag for  disposal (see later)

● Any blood splashes on the skin should be washed off with soap and water

● If a cut or puncture wound by a needle is sustained, let the wound bleed, squeeze it gently but do not  suck it. Wash the area in cold running water and apply a sterile dressing. Report the incident and seek  medical advice immediately.

● The HIV virus has only occasionally been found in saliva and in very small quantities when compared  with blood. No HIV infection is known to have occurred as a result of carrying out mouth-to-mouth  resuscitation. Therefore, the risk to the first aider is thought to be extremely small and should not  discourage a prompt response in a life-saving emergency. A protective resuscitation aid can be used  where available and this may be kept in first aid kits.

● Never re-use disposable equipment or use to treat more than one casualty.

Dealing with Blood and Body Fluid Spills

Spillages of blood, vomit, urine and excreta should be cleaned up promptly. The following general actions must  be taken by the person dealing with the spill:

● Clear the immediate area of people. Hazard signs and cordoning may be necessary, according to the  circumstances.

● Disposable personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves (latex or nitrile) or equivalent and a  disposable plastic apron must be worn.

● Any spilt blood or other body fluids should be cleaned up, either with disposable absorbent paper towels  or with an appropriate sanitizing product

Waste Disposal

V2.0 Final

Waste created by the administration of first aid is categorised as hazardous as it may contain bodily fluids.  However, in most circumstances and premises the amount produced is minimal and as such special  arrangements for disposal are not required.

Reporting accidents

Statutory requirements: under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995  (RIDDOR) some accidents must be reported to the HSE.

The Principal must keep a record of any reportable injury, disease or dangerous occurrence. This must include:  the date and method of reporting; the date, time and place of the event; personal details of those involved and a  brief description of the nature of the event or disease. This record can be combined with other accident records. The following accidents must be reported to the HSE involving employees or self-employed people working on the  premises:

● Accidents resulting in death or major injury (including as a result of physical violence) ● Accidents which prevent the injured person from doing their normal work for more than three days

For definitions, see HSC/E guidance on RIDDOR1995, and information on Reporting Academy Accidents (Annex  A).

Accidents involving students and visitors:

In the case of any accidents that result in the person being killed or being taken from the site of the accident to  hospital and if the accident arises out of or in connection with work i.e. if it relates to;

● Any Academy activity, both on or off the premises

● The way the Academy activity has been organised and managed

● Equipment, machinery or substances

● The design or condition of the premises

HSE must be notified of fatal and major injuries and dangerous occurrences without delay.

HSE will be notified of fatal and major injuries and dangerous occurrences without delay (i.e. by telephone).  This will be followed up within ten days with a written report on Form 2508. Other reportable accidents do not need  immediate notification, but they will be reported to HSE within ten days on Form 2508.

The Principal is responsible for ensuring this happens, but may delegate the duty to the Health and Safety Officer. Record keeping

Statutory accident records: The Principal must ensure that readily accessible accident records, written or  electronic, are kept for a minimum of seven years. (see DSS The Accident Book BI 510)

Academy’s central record: This can be combined with the RIDDOR record and the Accident Book, providing all  legislation requirements are met.

The Principal must ensure that a record is kept of any first aid treatment given by First Aiders or Appointed Persons.  This should include:

● The date, time and place of incident

● The name (and class) of the injured or ill person

V2.0 Final

● Details of their injury/illness and what first aid was given

● What happened to the person immediately afterwards

● Name and signature of the First Aider or person dealing with the incident.

The Principal must have in place procedures for ensuring that parents are informed of significant incidents.

Monitoring

Accident records can be used to help the Heads and Health and Safety Officers/Academy Nurses identify trends  and areas for improvement. They also could help to identify training or other needs and may be useful for insurance  or investigative purposes.

The Principal should establish a regular review and analysis of accident records.

It is the responsibility of the Appointed person to ensure that this list is kept up to date and that, where required,  qualifications are renewed as required.  

The Principal will review the list at the start of each term to ensure compliance with the policy. Action in the Event of Injury – Aide Memoire

People with minor injuries should report to the nearest First Aider.  

Students needing first aid during a lesson should be referred to the nearest First Aider by the teacher. They should  be accompanied by another student (if the injury is minor) or by another adult if the injury is more serious.  

If it would further endanger the student, then the nearest First Aider should be called to the casualty and Reception  informed.

Casualties with suspected fractures or back or neck injuries must not be moved unless directed by the  ambulance personnel. For the patient’s safety and insurance reasons, they must NOT be moved on the  instructions of ANY bystander.

Injuries and accidents that occur during non contact and break times should be dealt with in a similar way by the  Duty Staff.

No student should be left unattended in the Medical Room.

In more serious cases, where hospital attention is deemed necessary an ambulance will be called and the parent Contacted by the appointed person or First aider

● In the absence of a parent, a member of staff must accompany the student to the hospital and remain  there until the parent arrives.

● If a parent cannot be contacted, the Academy will act in loco parentis and give permission for any  emergency treatment.

Procedures for First Aid Staff

First Aid should only be administered in response to an immediate and serious medical problem.

First Aid staff are not allowed to administer any medication or cream without parental consent in general but in an  emergency then an Epi pen or inhaler would be used (refer to Epi pen and Inhaler policy).

V2.0 Final

No treatment or procedure should be attempted for which formal training has not been undertaken.

All head injuries must be reported to parent and advise will be given about making a referral to the nearest casualty  department.

Parents of students who have received first aid must be advised at the earliest opportunity of the incident, the  injury and the action taken.

Payment for First Aiders

An allowance will be paid to The Appointed Person who has a valid current First Aid Certificate. This payment is  an acknowledgement of the individual’s training and commitment and is paid in accordance with the current First  Aid at Work Policy.

This payment will be stopped if the Appointed Person:

● chooses not to continue as a First Aider, or

● does not attend the 12 monthly refresher courses, or

● on attendance at the refresher course is found not to be competent, or

● allows their certificate to lapse, or

● relocates to a unit/establishment which already has sufficient First Aiders, or leaves the organisation.

At the Principal’s discretion, the allowance may be stopped or suspended if the Appointed Person is likely to be  away from the work base for a considerable period of time, e.g. long term sickness, home working, maternity  leave, unpaid leave etc. First Aiders do not receive an allowance.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Review

The Governing Body will review this policy at least every two years and assess its implementation and  effectiveness. The policy will be promoted and implemented throughout the Academy.

Statutory Training

First Aid at Work

This is the principal First Aid course, which covers a wide range of situations from low to high risk. On  successfully undertaking training and passing a written and practical assessment, the person will be issued with  a First Aid at Work Certificate valid for three years. This qualification is renewable within the valid time of the  certificate. Once the certificate date has expired the person will need to attend the full First Aid at Work course.  This course takes place over four days (24 hours tuition). Where staff may need to administer First Aid to  children under seven years of age, an appropriate additional pediatric resuscitation module must also be taken.

First Aid at Work Refresher

This training re-qualifies holders of a First Aid at Work Certificate providing they pass their written and practical  assessment. Those who wish to renew their certificate must do so before the three year expiry date, ideally 2  years 10 months. This course takes place over two days (12 hours tuition). Where staff may need to administer  First Aid to children under seven years of age, an appropriate additional pediatric resuscitation module must also  be taken.

Appointed Person

The minimum requirement on an employer is to appoint a person to take charge of First Aid arrangements and  any emergency First Aid situation. An Appointed Person can provide temporary cover for First Aiders, ensuring  that someone is always available to give First Aid immediately following an incident. The certificate is valid for  three years. This course takes place over one day (6 hours tuition). Where staff may need to administer First Aid  to children under seven years of age, an appropriate additional pediatric resuscitation module must also be  taken.

Statutory Training

Refresher Training (update in First Aid skills)

This is additional training to ensure that practical skills are maintained and is not an alternative to statutory  training. This training should be carried out annually by all designated First Aiders and Appointed Persons. This  course takes place over 3 hours.

First Aid Equipment

A minimum of one First Aid box of appropriate size should be provided for each establishment and/or building

V2.0 Final

and any Academy vehicle. Passenger carrying vehicles (PCV) and minibuses must carry First Aid kits that  comply with PCV and Minibus Regulations. Each First Aider should have their own First Aid kit for rapid access  in an emergency situation.

All First Aid kits/boxes should be identified by a white cross on a green background and contain the following  minimum items:

Guidance card

Sterile dressings, 6 small, 6 medium and 2 large

20 Individually wrapped sterile adhesive dressings (blue detectable

in food preparation areas)

2 Sterile eye pads

4 Triangular bandages

12 Safety pins

2 Disposable gloves

1 x 300ml bottle of sterile water or normal saline should be supplied where tap water is not available Individually wrapped moist wipes could be supplied where tap water

is not available

1 pair scissors (First Aid Type)

1 roll micro pore tape

1 resusciade mouthpiece and

Pencil and paper

Quantities should be decided upon in the light of risk assessment, taking into account the number of staff and  pupils.

There must be no medication of any kind, for example aspirin, paracetamol, antiseptic creams, burn  sprays, etc within the First Aid kit/box, and administration of medication in a First Aid situation is not  part of the First Aider’s role.

The reasoning behind this is:

● In the case of tablets, you may not know if any medication has previously been taken or, if it has, what  dosage and when. This being the case, your ‘prescription’ may adversely affect any further treatment or  surgery that may later be required

● If the wrong cream were used for the wrong injury, or used inappropriately, there may be serious  scarring and long term discomfort for the casualty. There may also be the chance of an adverse allergic  reaction

Since first aid containers are available to anyone who wishes to use them, the possibility of the problems  highlighted above occurring is quite high.

The provision of plasters, contrary to popular belief, is fine. Most people will know if they are allergic to plasters  and will ask for alternatives to be used.

Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite), or one of the available proprietary combined soak and disinfectant products,  should be available in the workplace for cleaning up spillages of body fluids, but should not be located with, or in,  the First Aid box. Clinical disposal bags should also be provided.
