13.01.2022 Stay safe this silly season with these five first aid tips from St John: 1. While cooking in the kitchen take care to turn saucepan handles away from the edge, put sharp knives and appliances away after use and try to keep other people out of the kitchen. 2. To avoid disaster make sure to replace any faulty lights, keep fragile items out of reach of children and pets and always use a ladder when hanging lights up high.... 3. Be aware of how many drinks you are consuming, drink water in between alcoholic beverages to remain hydrated and make sure to eat. 4. On hot days, make sure to drink plenty of water, minimise physical activity, wear light clothing and try to avoid alcohol. 5. Naturally, children want to test out their new toys, just ensure that gifts such as bikes and skateboards are accompanied with protective equipment and you keep an eye on children, particularly around the water.

06.01.2022 Last year in NSW, over 350 lives were lost on our roads. The holiday season is one of the most high-risk times on Australian roads so we are asking you to help keep each other safe. It can take up to 15 minutes for an ambulance to arrive at the scene of a motor vehicle crash. In those critical minutes, knowing how to keep airways clear, stop bleeding, and how to perform CPR can mean the difference between life and death. The first 5-7 minutes after a car crash are crucial. Th...ere are three key things you need to remember to make a difference: 1. Keep airways clear 2. Stop any bleeding 3. Know how to perform CPR Download our Help Card to learn more www.firstonscene.org.au You can purchase your own car safety kit from St John NSW here: https://www.stjohnnsw.com.au/st-john-just-in-case-car-safet You never know when these tips + kit might come in handy.
