Question 1 of 10
1. Question
The First Aid in the Workplace code of practise 2021 provides practical advice to employees and employers. It covers first aid personnel, first aid kits, first aid rooms, first aid signs, accident response plans and risk management.
CorrectIncorrectHint
This Code of Practice on first aid in the workplace is an approved code of practice under section 274 of the Work Health and Safety Act (the WHS Act). An approved code of practice provides practical guidance on how to achieve the standards of work health and safety required under the WHS Act and the Work Health and Safety Regulations (the WHS Regulations) and effective ways to identify and manage risks. A code of practice can assist anyone who has a duty of care in the circumstances described in the code of practice. Following an approved code of practice will assist duty holders to achieve compliance with the health and safety duties in the WHS Act and WHS Regulations, in relation to the subject matter of the code of practice. Like regulations, codes of practice deal with particular issues and may not cover all relevant hazards or risks. The health and safety duties require duty holders to consider all risks associated with work, not only those for which regulations and codes of practice exist. Codes of practice are admissible in court proceedings under the WHS Act and WHS Regulations. Courts may regard a code of practice as evidence of what is known about a hazard, risk, risk assessment or risk control and may rely on the code in determining what is reasonably practicable in the circumstances to which the code of practice relates. For further information see the Interpretive Guideline: The meaning of ‘reasonably practicable’. Compliance with the WHS Act and WHS Regulations may be achieved by following another method if it provides an equivalent or higher standard of work health and safety than the code. An inspector may refer to an approved code of practice when issuing an improvement or prohibition notice.

An inspector may refer to an approved code of practice when issuing an improvement or prohibition notice.

Question 8 of 10
8. Question
Define respectful behaviour
CorrectIncorrectHint
A first aider should at all times demonstrate respectful behaviour to the causality.
A first aid should never make judgments of the person he/she is caring for.
Try to build a respectful relationship by asking the causality their name, ensure that you have been provided with consent before touching them. Explain your actions before doing anything. Listen to how they are feeling. If possible have another person “chaperone” when assisting with children under the age of 18.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
Which of the following statements best describes when you have a legal duty of care to help others in an emergency?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Duty of Care is the legal relationship owed by one individual or organisation to another. If you are the first aider in your workplace then you owe a Duty of Care to your co-workers. All adults have a “duty of care” to young people if the parent or legal guardian is not present. If there is no Duty of Care owed and if you provide first aid assistance you are considered to be a “Good Samaritan”. First aiders should not be concerned or delay giving assistance for fear of litigation.

Question 10 of 10
10. Question
Prior to giving assistance the first aider must obtain the casualty`s:
CorrectIncorrectHint
Consent
Before providing first aid to a casualty you must obtain their consent. If the casualty is unconscious or is unable to give consent due to their injuries then consent is assumed and you should commence first aid treatment. If the casualty is conscious and appears to be in sound mind then they have the right to refuse your offer of assistance and any first aid treatment.
If the casualty is less than 18 years of age consent should be obtained from a parent or guardian. However, if no parent or guardian is present then consent is assumed and you can commence first aid treatment.
Always remember that a casualty’s consent only extends to their immediate illness or injury and you should not attempt to treat any condition beyond your knowledge of first aid.
