SJAM First Aid at Workplace study plan

Name the five links in the chain of survival and state the workplace action and time target attached to each link

Carry out a spoken 30-second scene assessment that identifies hazards, casualty count, available helpers and the safest approach route

Demonstrate checking responsiveness and normal breathing in no more than 10 seconds, and state the trigger for starting CPR

Decide, using two short workplace scenarios, whether a casualty may be moved and justify the answer

Deliver adult chest compressions at 100-120 per minute with a depth of 5-6 cm and full recoil, in a 30:2 ratio

Run the complete AED sequence, from powering on to shock delivery or resumption of CPR, in under 3 minutes

State the paediatric and drowning modifications to compression-to-ventilation ratios and the reason for each

List four AED safety checks before pressing shock, including pad placement, water, metal surfaces and implanted devices

State the four conditions under which resuscitation may be stopped or handed over

Classify external bleeding as minor, severe or life-threatening and match each class to its first-line control measure

Apply direct pressure, a pressure dressing and a manufactured tourniquet in the correct sequence, stating the sign that a tourniquet is effective

Recognise the six early signs of shock and describe positioning, warming and monitoring for a conscious and an unconscious casualty

Manage a wound with an embedded object and an open abdominal wound without removing or replacing the object or organs

Clean, dress and decide on referral for a minor laceration, graze and blister

Integrate the primary survey into a continuous drill covering danger, response, airway, breathing, circulation, dysfunction and exposure

Apply a tourniquet and a pressure dressing inside 60 seconds each, timed from the moment bleeding is identified

Give a structured handover to emergency services using a recognised mnemonic covering casualty, mechanism, signs, treatment and time

Explain how a workplace first aider adapts the primary survey when there are multiple casualties and limited equipment

Classify burn depth and estimate burn surface area using the rule of nines and the casualty's palm, then state the cooling duration and the referral threshold

Differentiate thermal, chemical, electrical and friction burns and give the specific first aid modification for each

Describe the first aid for a chemical splash to the eye and state the minimum irrigation time

Identify the signs of a suspected spinal injury and demonstrate a log-roll with three helpers

List the four burn presentations that always require emergency transfer, including circumferential and airway burns

Immobilise a suspected fracture of the forearm, upper arm and lower leg using a sling and a padded splint without realigning the limb

Apply rest, ice, compression and elevation to a sprain and state the four signs that mean a suspected fracture instead

Recognise compartment syndrome and crush injury and describe why release of a prolonged crush must be coordinated with emergency services

Store and transport an amputated part correctly and state the time and temperature limits

Recognise fainting, seizure and low blood glucose, and state the recovery position rule for each

Recognise and give first aid for asthma, anaphylaxis, stroke, cardiac chest pain and diabetic emergency, naming the trigger for an adrenaline auto-injector and for calling emergency services

Outline the contents of a workplace first aid kit for a low-hazard and a high-hazard site and justify three differences

Explain how a first aid needs assessment uses workforce size, shift pattern, hazards and distance to hospital to set numbers of first aiders

Describe what must be recorded after an incident and how the record supports reporting and review

State the roles of the appointed person, the first aider and the emergency services in a workplace response

Complete a full-length mock examination under timed conditions and score 85% or higher

Re-drill the two weakest objectives identified from the mock until each is performed correctly twice in a row

Run a 10-minute integrated scenario covering scene safety, CPR with AED, severe bleeding and handover without prompting

Recite the chain of survival, the compression targets and the handover mnemonic from memory within 60 seconds
