'AECP Resuscitation
Award' for successful resuscitations performed
by first aid officers trained by our members!
In 2007 AECP established a Resuscitation Award for
successful resuscitation conducted by clients
trained by our members.
The award was established out of recognition by AECP
members that approximately 90% of first aid training
is funded by employers.
AECP gives formal recognition of all successful
resuscitations that are conducted by first aid
officers trained by our members.
The criteria for the awards are:
-
The resuscitated person must leave hospital
-
It
must only involve lay workplace first aiders
within the employer’s workplace whose job
descriptions do not include ‘first aid’ or
‘emergency service’ as a primary function. The
award is also not open to resuscitations
undertaken as part of the provision of first aid
services with an emergency service or voluntary
organisation.
All
winners will receive recognition of their
contribution to the safety of their employees and
clients. We know of no other formal recognition of
this type for employers and their workplace first
aiders, so let us know if any of your clients are
eligible to receive an award.
Send
applications to Dr John Fahey, who will facilitate
the process for the National Executive. He can be
reached on email
