All staff have a statutory obligation to follow and co-operate with the requirements of this policy. Aims and Objectives

Our first aid policy requirements will be achieved by: Carrying out a First Aid Needs Assessment to determine the first aid provision requirements for our premises 1. It is our policy to ensure that the First Aid Needs Assessment will be reviewed periodically or following any significant changes that may affect first aid provision 2. The Children s Services First Aid Needs Assessment Form (CSAF-002 will be used to produce the First Aid Needs Assessment for our site Ensuring that there are a sufficient number of trained first aiders on duty and available for the numbers and risks on the premises in accordance with the First Aid Needs Assessment Ensuring that there are suitable and sufficient facilities and equipment available to administer first aid in accordance with the First Aid Needs Assessment Ensuring that the above provisions are clear and shared with all who may require them First Aid Training The responsible manager will ensure that appropriate numbers of qualified first aiders, appointed persons and paediatric trained staff (if appropriate) are nominated as identified by completion of the First Aid Needs Assessment and that they are adequately trained to meet their statutory duties. Appointed Persons At Kings Worthy Primary school there are no appointed persons.

First Aid Provision Our First Aid Needs Assessment has identified the following first aid kit requirements: Kings Worthy Primary School will have a Premises First Aid Box and a Travel First Aid Kit which will be stored in the First Aid Room. There will also be four portable first aid kits for playground/outdoor use. It is the responsibility of the qualified first aider to check the contents of all first aid kits every four months (termly) and record findings on the Children s Services First Aid Kit Checklist (CSAF-003). Completed checklists are to be stored in the Health and Safety File. The contents of first aid kits are listed under the required quantity column on the checklist itself. The school medical room is designated as the first aid room for treatment, sickness and the administering of first aid. The first aid room will have the following facilities: Washbasin with running water First aid kit Seating (which could be used for the patient to lie down) Near a telephone Procedures to Follow in Event of an Accident Staff will refer to the Kings Worthy Primary School accident flow chart which is situated in the First Aid Room and in various key areas around the school. Emergency Arrangements Upon being summoned in the event of an accident, the first aider is to take charge of the first aid administration/emergency treatment commensurate with their training. Following their assessment of the injured person, they are to administer appropriate first aid and make a balanced judgement as to whether there is a requirement to call an ambulance. The first aider is to always call an ambulance on the following occasions: In the event of a serious injury

In the event of any significant head injury In the event of a period of unconsciousness, convulsion/epileptic episode In the event of administering an Epipen (Allergic reaction/anaphylaxis) In the event of administering medication for Asthma and the condition has not improved Whenever there is the possibility of a fracture or where this is suspected, where appropriate. Whenever the first aider is unsure of the severity of the injuries Whenever the first aider is unsure of the correct treatment In the event of an accident involving a child, where appropriate, it is our policy to always notify parents of their child s accident if it: Is considered to be a serious (or more than minor) injury Requires attendance at hospital Is a head injury i.e. bump to head sticker (visual prompt) or note home Our procedure for notifying parents will be to use all telephone numbers available to contact them and leave a message should the parents not be contactable. In the event that parents cannot be contacted and a message has been left, our policy will be to continue to attempt to make contact with the parents every hour. In the interim, we will ensure that the qualified first aider or another member of staff remains with the child until the parents can be contacted and arrive (as required). In the event that the child requires hospital treatment and the parents cannot be contacted prior to attendance, the qualified first aider/another member of staff will accompany the child to hospital and remain with them until the parents can be contacted and arrive at the hospital. Records All accidents are to be recorded on an accident reporting form / accident book with the following information: Date and time of accident Name of injured person Precise location of accident Details of injury, how it occurred and any First Aid administered. Details of parental contact Teacher in charge of child when accident took place Signature of person reporting the incident All accidents requiring hospital treatment should be recorded on form CSRF-003 (School Accident Internal Form).

1 Introduction Appendix 2 ACTIONS FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT A BRIEF GUIDE Following any accident or incident at the work premises or during authorised work, there are certain actions required under law and/or under Hampshire County Council (HCC) corporate and departmental policies. This brief guide provides an easy-to-understand overview of the common actions required following an accident, incident or near miss. 2 Actions to be taken The following actions are to be taken and these are explained in more detail further on in this guide: a. Immediate, remedial & medical actions b. Secondary actions c. Completion/sending of accident report form d. Completion/sending of F2508 HSE Accident Report Form (if reportable) e. Carry out & document an accident/incident investigation f. Risk assessment or review of current risk assessment (as appropriate) g. Implementation of identified control measures (and periodic reviews thereafter) 3. Actions explained a. Immediate, remedial & medical actions These are the basic actions required in the event of any accident or incident and may include: Calling for assistance Administering first aid Calling an ambulance Making the area temporarily safe or preventing others from being exposed to the same hazard b. Secondary actions According to the nature of the accident/incident and/or its consequences, there are certain actions that should be carried out to provide records of the accident/incident and the following should be completed as appropriate to the seriousness or type of accident/incident. These secondary actions include: Taking photographs of the accident site Taking photographs of the injuries Taking statements from witnesses Making a brief record of events (as soon as possible after the accident/incident) Longer term isolation of the area to prevent access pending implementation of permanent barriers c. Completion/sending of accident report form An accident report should be completed at the earliest opportunity following the accident. For all accidents including those to employees and visitors (with the exception of accidents involving pupils), the accident report book should be used. This should be a pre-printed report form pad with tear-out report forms. The completed (original) report form should be retained in a secure storage, and a photocopy posted to the Children s Services Health & Safety Team, Clarendon House, Monarch Way, Winchester, SO22 5PW in accordance with corporate and departmental requirements. It should be noted that the accident report form is available on the Children s Services Health & Safety Website at Accident Book Report Form (HCC). This electronic version can only be downloaded to be completed and posted it is not for online submission. For accidents to pupils in school, very minor accidents should be recorded in a local exercise book. More serious accidents such as those requiring significant first aid administration, contact with parents, or where a claim against the HCC is possible, should be recorded on CSRF-003 School Accident Internal Report Form

and retained at school. Each year, a formal request for numbers of all completed CSRF-003 forms will be issued and data received from schools will be used to collate county and national statistics. Be advised that all accident/incident reporting and investigation guidance and requirements are clearly and simply set out in Children's Services Safety Guidance Procedure SGP-17-07. d. Completion/sending of F2508 HSE Accident Report Form Under the Reporting Injuries Diseases Dangerous Occurrence Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR), there is a legal requirement to report some accidents/incidents directly to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). This would include accidents that are serious or result in broken bones (not digits) or more than seven days unable to work (incidents where they were unable to work for over three days should be recorded locally). To identify whether an employee s, visitor s or child s accident/incident should be reported to the HSE, use one of the Action Flowcharts in the guidance contained within the CSRF-003 Form itself. If in doubt, contact the Children s Services Health & Safety Team to discuss the reporting requirements The F2508 Accident Report Form is available at F2508 HSE Accident Report Form (RIDDOR). Complete the online RIDDOR report form (for fatalities or specified injuries to a worker call HSE ICC on 0845 300 99 23). The HSE will send you a record. Forward a copy of this to Children s Services Health & Safety Team, Clarendon House, Monarch Way, Winchester, S022 5PW. e. Carry out & document an accident/incident investigation Accidents, incidents and near misses should be investigated unless the nature and consequences of the event are insignificant. The purpose of the investigation is to establish the immediate and root causes of the accident/incident with a view to examining failures and implementing control measures to prevent further reoccurrences. Once the investigation has been undertaken, notes taken should be used to complete the Online Accident/Incident Investigation Report Form (HCC). This is a preformatted, corporate online investigation report form which is simple and quick to use. Once completed and submitted, a printable version of the form will be automatically returned to you (electronically) and a copy will automatically be forwarded to the Children s Services Health & Safety Team, who will attach it to the related accident report form and/or F2508 Report Form. f. Risk assessment or review of current risk assessment Where injury has resulted or a significant risk has been identified through the investigation process, responsible managers should ensure that a review of the risk assessment (relating to the hazard causing the accident) is carried out by a their trained risk assessor. Where the risk may have been previously unforeseeable, a new risk assessment should be completed and control measures identified that would reduce the risk of future similar accidents. A summary of findings or new control measures (identified as part of the risk assessment or review process) would be expected to be included in the investigation report to demonstrate actions indicating that the potential dangers have been identified and something has been done to control the risks. g. Implementation of identified control measures Once new control measures have been identified, make sure that they are implemented as soon as possible to prevent reoccurrence of such an accident/incident. Monitor the new controls to establish their effectiveness and periodically review the risk assessment to ensure that control measures remain effective. 4. Need further advice?
