health & safety 28 Don’t Risk a slip - new TAKmats keep floors clean and dry Fosse Liquitrol is now offering a revolutionary spill control solution, designed to keep workplace floors clean and dry. The “TAKmat” is a very effective and affordable method of keeping walkways, entrances and work areas clean and dry. Highly absorbent material coated in non-transferable resin instantly removes and retains oil, grease, dirt and moisture from dirty feet, preventing it being walked into clean areas. The TAKmat is made of thirty-six layers of absorbent material, so when the top layer is saturated, you simply peel it off to reveal a new, sparklingly clean layer underneath! As there are thirty-six layers, the mat remains consistently clean for longer. And because the individual layers are so light and flexible, they can be easily and safely disposed of - eliminating the need for costly external collection and removal schemes. Available in three sizes for walkways and entrances, free-standing TAKmats promote best practice in keeping floor areas clean and slipfree. They are perfect for use in factories, paint spray booths, laboratories, offices, electronics or automotive industries and construction sites. Reader Reply No.: 85097 Worldwide sales since 2000 of the Heartstart First Aid Defibrillator have exceeded 200,000 and in celebration of this achievement Laerdal Medical has donated a defibrillator to four different organisations across the UK. The FR2 Heartstart First Aid Defibrillator has been donated to Essex <strong>Fire</strong> and Rescue for use by their International Search and Rescue Division and Selly Oak Hospital for use with their West Midlands Care Team and the FRX Heartstart First Aid Defibrillator has been donated to Southport Lifeboat an independent lifeboat station that amongst other operations was involved in the rescue of the cockle pickers from Morecombe Bay and the RNLI station at Tower Pier, London. “The more defibrillators available the more lives will be saved,” explained Tony Kemp, Product Specialist with Laerdal Medical “and to know that more than 100,000 Heartstart First Aid Defibrillators are available around the world now is great news. We decided that this milestone should be marked by us donating our leading models to organisations that we felt justly deserved it, who are widely respected by all and who, with the donation of a defibrillator, would only increase the number of lives they already save every year.” In around 85% of cardiac arrests, the heart sim- ESS Toolkit makes work a safer place In line with the current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Workplace Health and Safety Survey (WHASS) Programme, ESS - UK, the total support services division of Compass Group, is supplying its operating sites with an ‘ESSential Safety Toolkit’, designed to educate and inform personnel at all levels in health and safety best practice. In the UK alone, over 600 people die each year as a result of work activities and several hundreds of thousands more suffer illness and injury all of which equated to some nine million lost working days in 2003/4. The HSE states that ‘almost all these incidents are preventable’ and over the next two years is targeting the workplace with its series of W H A S S Programme surveys to gain information to help design and deliver programmes to reduce injuries, ill-health and lost time incidents. Likewise, ESS - UK’s Toolkit aims to create a safe work culture at its sites where all personnel are acutely aware of the possible health and safety hazards and risks in their environment and work together to manage them. Each employee is encouraged to take responsibility for eliminating hazardous activities and removing unsafe conditions thus preventing injury or illness. The Toolkit contains a wide variety of support materials to ensure that every member of staff, ply loses its rhythm and goes into ventricular fibrillation (VF). In this condition, a defibrillator can safely shock the heart back into a regular beating pattern. If administered within 2-3 minutes of collapse, the chances of the victim’s survival are increased by up to 50%. The defibrillator must be used within the first 4 - 5 minutes- the sooner the better as the rate of successful recovery decreases by an alarming 10% per minute. In the absence of a defibrillator, CPR alone is not enough. Without early defibrillation, the patient will almost certainly die. Although Laerdal’s HeartStart First Aid Defibrillator is a technically advanced piece whether office based or elsewhere on site, can have access to relevant information and health and safety procedures. Safety awareness posters, risk assessment and job analysis forms, hazard spotting stickers, observation cards and suggestion forms all help to keep issues of health and safety front of mind at all times. Rowena Edwards, MD of ESS - UK commented: “In addition to giving staff the tools to reduce and eliminate risk on site, the Toolkit also encourages staff to take a positive role in health and safety and proactively review work procedures, whether new or existing, to ensure the continued safety of themselves and their team members alike. “ T h e ESSential S a f e t y Toolkit is part of ESS - UK’s long-term approach to employee and client health and safety. The company aims to ensure systems are in place to maintain improved employee awareness of health and safety, improved operational health and safety reporting and improved management reporting with the ultimate goal of reducing to an absolute minimum the number of incidents on site.” Reader Reply No.: 85034 Laerdal donates Heartstart First Aid defibrillators to celebrate worldwide sales of 200,000+ of equipment, it is small, very robust and surprisingly easy to use. Automated voice commands and comprehensive diagrams take the operator through each step of the way. Independent scientific user trials show that the Laerdal HeartStart First Aid Defibrillator is the most simple to operate AED (automatic external defibrillator) on the market.
