IMMEDIATE LIFE-SUPPORT FIRST AID (4hrs)
First on the Scene (FOTS) is a First Aid course designed by international experts that, unlike the Australian First Aid HLTAID 009 CPR or 010 Basic Emergency Life Support course, it addresses other major conditions requiring immediate treatment for life threatening conditions and not conditions that aren’t immediately ‘life threatening’.
It is a 4-hour course reinforcing, brief essential theory rather than death by presentation, maximising ‘hands-on’ time for practical application, minimising training employee time away from work and leaving participants confident and capable to intervene if necessary.
Fully WHS compliant for basic life support, we can however t add additional workplace specific needs if/where required.
→ Activating the ‘000’ system
→ Recognise and respond to life-threatening bleeding
- Tourniquet application
- Wound packing
→ Hands-only CPR
- Traumatic vs Sudden Cardiac Arrest
- Automatically External Defibrillator (AED) use
→ Penetrating chest trauma
- Commercial and expedient Chest Seals
- ‘Burping’ the Seal
→ Administering Naloxone (Drug Overdose)
→Administering Adrenaline (Anaphylaxis)
→ Moving patients to safety
→ Positioning injured patients (Recovery position)
* Option to tailor in additional competencies to your workplace risks or WHS requirements.
- E.g Snakebite, Marine Envenomation, Choking
FOTS is suitable for anyone physically capable to conduct CPR on an adult and is a basic knowledge course. It is highly suitable for all workplaces but recommended recommended for industries with an increased risk profile such as: Transport, Construction, Manufacturing, Mining and Resources and Energy to cover them against their WHS liability.
It is the most relevant course to prepare any person to be a first responder to a traumatic accident such as a motor vehicle collisions, deep lacerations, shark attacks and other trauma incidents.
