Defibrillator – An affordable life saving device!

A must have addition to First Aid kits for all responsible organisations and venues.



10 Minutes to save a life – that is how long you have when someone suffers a cardiac arrest (heart attack).

When seconds count, a defibrillator is the best lifesaving device for people in cardiac arrest. Used swiftly, defibrillators have been shown to dramatically increase the survival rate of people suffering from sudden cardiac arrest.

What does a defibrillator do?
It provides a strong electrical shock to the heart to reinstate a normal heartbeat.
The opportunity for crucial, early defibrillation has increased with improvement and availability of automated external defibrillators (AED). The operation of an AED device is simple and straightforward, however you must follow the steps explicitly to ensure the victim's best chance of survival.

An AED will automatically determine the heart rhythm of a pulseless victim and, if the victim is in ventricular fibrillation (v-fib), shock the victim's heart in an attempt to restore its rhythm to normal.

When a heart is in v-fib, it is still receiving nerve impulses from the brain. These impulses fire so chaoticaly that the heart cannot produce a beat and is therefore unable to pump suffiicent blood to keep the circulatory system and oxygen flowing through the body. After 4-6 minutes without oxygen, brain cells begin to die.The chaotic spasms of the heart continue until it ether no longer receives electrical impulses from the brain and then stops all together or until the heart is shocked back into a normal rhythm.

An AED stops the heart’s chaotic spasms by shocking it. This allows the nerve impulses an oportunity to resume their normal pattern and then the heart to resume beating at its normal pace.

Automated External Defibrilators are straightforward and easy to use. Time is the most important factor in a cardiac emergency, it is therefore important to understand how to use an AED. 


What to do if someone around you has a heart attack (cardiac arrest)?


Step 1. - Dial 999. If you see someone collapse, immediately call the emergency services and ask for the assistance of the paramedics. If there are other people around, choose someone specific and instruct him or her to call 999 and explain the situation. This decreases confusion about who should do what and ensures that the call is being placed.

Even with the help of an AED, the victim needs assistance from medical professionals as soon as possible.

Step 2. - Check the victim's respirations and airway. If someone has collapsed, you should immediately ascertain if he or she is breathing. If the victim is breathing, you know they have a pulse.

If they are not breathing:

Step 3. - Remove the victim's top/shirt and any jewelry or accessories so you can place the AED electrode pads directly on the chest. If possible, have someone else begin CPR while you grab and set up the AED. If you are alone with the victim, find the AED as fast as possible. Open the AED. Most AED devices turn on immediately once you open them, but some have an ON button that is easily identified.

Step 4. - Place the electrode pads exactly as they are shown on the AED diagram. Place one pad on the upper right part of the victim's chest, and the other on the lower left side of the chest. The pads should be diagonal from each other.

Step 5. - Plug the electrodes into the AED connecter. Wait a few seconds for the AED to determine whether a shock is needed, based on the victim's heartbeat.

If or when the AED decides a shock is necessary, a clear voice will say so and you should then press the shock button as with the semi-automatic Heartstart HS1 Defibrillator, or it will inform you it is about to automatically shock the patient as with the The Powerheart G3 Plus.
Heartstart HS1 Defibrillator
Powerheart G3 Plus

After the shock, the AED will again evaluate the victim's heartbeat. It may tell you that no further shock is needed, or if another shock is required, the AED either will tell you to press the shock button again, or automatically administer it on its own.

If the victim's heart begins to beat again but he cannot breathe, do not use the AED device again. Instead, begin CPR. If he still has no pulse, continue to use the AED until paramedics arrive.

The defibrillators available from WorkwearHouse are approved and used by St John Ambulance. They are suitable for the workplace, sporting and entertainment venues, schools, hotels, retail and public spaces and places of worship. Easy to use with natural voice instructions to coach the emergency aid provider through the steps of first aid defibrillation and CPR they are suitable for use by the layperson as well as trained emergency personnel.

Things to look out for.

  • Using an automated external defibrillator, AED, is very simple. However the situation requiring the need for the device to be used may cause hysteria or panic. It is important you remain calm and listen to the instructions and alerts given by the AED.

  • We highly recommend attending an accredited training course on the proper use of AED and CPR.

  • Buy your defibrillator from WorkwearHouse and we will provide you with a place on a St John Ambulance Training Course Free of charge.

  • Make certain the electrode pads are placed as shown on their packaging. Should they accidently be placed in the reverse positions the AED will not benefit the victim.

PPE – Whose Responsibility is it?

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) – Whose Responsibility is it?
We trust you will find the following a useful guide to the appropriate level of PPE that should be provided to ensure your safety and that of your employees.

UK legislation makes employers responsible for supplying Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to each employee. A similar situation applies for much of Europe.

By way of background to the requirement to provide PPE items the following extracts from UK legislation highlight the provision of, training for and the maintenance of PPE in the workplace today. 

Legislation.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to identify and assess risks to health and safety in order to determine appropriate means of reducing those risks to an acceptable level. The use of PPE should be regarded as a last resort but, where other control measures are not appropriate or sufficient; PPE must be provided and used.

General requirements for the provision and use of PPE are contained in the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.

The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.
The following paragraphs relate to the requirements of the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.  However, the same principles will need to be applied to the provision and use of PPE required under other legislation.

Selection.Where a risk cannot adequately be controlled by other means, employers and the self-employed have duties to provide “suitable” PPE. Assessments of the parts of the body endangered by the risk, and the level of that risk, must be carried out in order to determine the type of PPE that is needed and to estimate its required performance.

To be “suitable”, the PPE must:
  • Be assessed as appropriate both to the risk involved and to the working conditions
  • Be selected to take account of factors such as the length of time it needs to be worn and the need to see or hear
  • Be capable of fitting the wearer correctly
  • Be compatible with other PPE which may need to be worn (e.g. boilersuits, gaiters for protection from sparks)
  • Carry a “CE” mark. 
Employers should consult with employees on such matters as comfort and convenience to the wearer and allow a degree of choice, where appropriate, before final selection is made. Once selection has been made, training/ advice should be given to ensure the equipment is used in a manner to provide the protection needed for the particular application.

Many employers offer the worker a choice of PPE from a selection of items they have determined as appropriate for the task. Employee consultation is an important factor in the selection process and goes a long way to ensure that not only is the correct PPE chosen but that it is also used and maintained properly.

Inspection and Maintenance.
Before being issued to the user, Personal Protection Equipment should be inspected by an appropriately trained person in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations. The wearer should also inspect it before use to ensure that it is clean and not defective.

Subsequent inspections and maintenance should be carried out in accordance with manufacturers’ schedules and should include where appropriate, examination, testing and record keeping. Where equipment is shared between users arrangements for cleaning and disinfecting the equipment should be put in place and documented.

Storage.
Suitable arrangements must be made for the storage of protective clothing and items such as safety helmets and goggles, when not in use. Consideration should be given to providing individual lockers to ensure each individual can store and look after their equipment properly and it is always on hand for when they are at work.

For items such Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) and safety harnesses a competent person should be appointed to manage a safe store in which items such as these should be kept.

Training.
Adequate information, instruction and training must be given on the wearing and use of PPE and should cover such subjects as:
  • The nature of the hazard
  • The source of the hazard
  • The effects of exposure to the hazard
  • The way in which the PPE functions
  • The way in which the PPE must be worn
  • Any limitations of the PPE
  • The way in which the PPE must be inspected and stored
  • The person to whom any defects or loss should be reported
Responsibility.
It is an Employers responsibility to take all reasonable steps to ensure the proper use of PPE. This includes the provision of adequate information, instruction training and supervision in the correct use and maintenance of the equipment.

Employees and the self-employed have duties to make full and proper use of PPE. Report any defect or loss and, where appropriate, to return it to stores after use.

Protective Footwear - Take the Right Steps

Protective Footwear - Take the Right Steps


Every working day accidents occur on worksites resulting in both serious and minor foot injuries. Many of these accidents can be avoided by the wearing of boots or shoes having built-in steel toe-caps and steel mid soles, known generally as safety boots or safety shoes.

In hazardous environments, it is necessary to minimise the risk of accidents to personnel by slipping and also to prevent faults and downtime caused by the discharge of static electricity. Therefore, the correct footwear is necessary in addition to the installed plant, floor areas and clothing.

Footwear is worn for many hours each day, and must offer both safety and comfort. 

A risk assessment on a worksite will often establish the need for protective footwear. When carried out by competent persons, the risk assessment will almost certainly define the required footwear and furthermore state the particular standard to which the footwear must conform.

Please note there are differences in the footwear for safety, protection and industry, which are designed according to the following standards both European and American:


International standards

Safety Footwear should conform to:

·         EN 344 General Requirements
·         EN 345 Specification for safety footwear
·         EN 346 Specification for protective footwear
·         EN 347 Specification for occupational footwear

Depending on the manufacturers locations you will find European (EN) or American (ASTMF) standards (which are equivalent in terms of requirements) and test methods on safety and working shoes for professional use.


European standards EN 344: 
General Requirements - This standard defines the general requirements and test methods on safety shoes, protective shoes and working shoes for professional use.
It can only be used together with EN 345, EN 346 and EN 347 standard, which specify the shoes requirements according to specific risks levels.


EN 345: Specifications on Safety Shoes for Professional Use 
This standard defines the basic and additional (optional) requirements on safety shoes for professional use - These shoes include devices to protect the user against injuries caused by accidents liable to occur in the industrial environment for which the shoe has been designed, fitted with safety toe-cap intended to deliver a protection against impacts with an energy level equal to 200 joules.


Class 1: All materials except natural or synthetic polymers 
S1 Basic properties and closed back, anti-static properties, heel energy absorption
S2 Like S1 and Waterproofed
S3 Like S2 and anti-puncture sole, studded sole


Class 2: Natural and synthetic polymers 
S4 Basic properties and anti-static properties, heel energy absorption S5 Like S4 and anti-puncture sole, studded sole


EN 346: Safety Shoes
This standard defines the requirements for protection afforded by Safety Shoes for professional use. There is also protection of the metatarsus and are resistant to the cuts.


EN 347: Specifications on Working Shoes for Professional Use
These shoes are different from safety shoes because they have no protective toe-cap against impact and crushing.

O1 Basic properties and closed back, sole resistance to hydrocarbons, antistatic properties, heel energy absorption

O2 Like O1 and Waterproofed

O3 Like O2 and anti-puncture sole, studded sole


American Standards ASTM F2413-05
ASTM F 2413-05 provides test methods and performance standards for “Personal Protective Footwear” sold in the United States. You may also come across this footwear in areas of the Middle East, North Africa and South East Asia.

In order for Protective footwear to be in compliance with ASTM the following requirements must be undertaken:

“I” and “C” Markings - Impact and Compression Resistance

This is a test of a shoe’s capacity to protect the toe area of the foot against falling objects or heavy rolling objects such as a forklift. The toe area is protected by using protective toe cap construction, commonly referred to as “Steel Toes,” although some Iron Age/Knapp safety shoes use a Non-Metallic protective cap that is equally effective.
There are 2 levels of protection available for Impact (I) and Compression (C) resistance - Class 50 and 75. Class 75 is the highest and it is recommended for most applications.

Impact:

I/75 = 75 ft. lbf (101.7 Joules)
I/50 = 50 ft. lbf (67.8 Joules)

Compression:

C/75 = 2500 lbs (1100 Kg)*
C/50 = 1750 lbs (790 Kg)
*when a 50-pound (22 Kg) weight is dropped from eighteen inches (45 cm) onto the protective cap

Test Clearances after test for impact and compression:

- 0.500 inch (12.7mm)

“M” Marking - Metatarsal

Established standards for the protection of the upper foot (metatarsal bones) and toe areas. Designed to prevent or reduce injuries when the toe and metatarsal areas of the foot are exposed to “drop” hazards.
There are 2 levels of protection available for - Class 50 and 75.
Class 75 is the highest and it is recommended for most applications.
The impact energies (75 and 50) are the same as for the toe impact.
Test Clearances after the metatarsal test impact are:
- 1 inch (25.4mm)

“EH” Marking - Electrical Hazard

EH footwear is designed to reduce the hazards due to the accidental contact of the sole with electrically energised parts and to provide secondary electricalhazard protection on substantially electrically insulated surfaces, live electrical circuits, electrically energised conductors, parts, or apparatus under dry conditions. Electric shock resistant footwear must be capable of withstanding the application of 14,000 volts at 60 Hz for 1 minute with no current flow or leakage in excess of 3.0 mill amperes under dry conditions.

Choosing the Right Footwear
Comfort is important in any shoe, but particularly with safety footwear. As well as the fitting of the boot or shoe, the purpose for which it will be used must be considered. Again, the risk assessment will determine the most appropriate type of footwear. WorkWear House has a wide range of safety boots and safety shoes from leading brands, such as Dickies, Harbour Lights, JSP, Portwest, Panoply and Regatta to meet your comfort and safety requirements. 
In addition, consideration should be given to the type of surface on which the footwear will be used; will this be wet and slippery or oily. Will there by a considerable amount of rough ground? In which case, boots providing ankle support would be preferable to shoes. If there is a risk of electric shock, then soles with high electrical resistance should be a serious consideration.

If there is a risk of injuries from falling objects and penetration, footwear with steel mid-soles and 200J toecaps should be specified.

For work carried out in wet or muddy conditions, rubber boots (Wellingtons) will be required and these again can be provided with steel toecaps and steel mid-soles. The problem of keeping water out of footwear results in moisture from foot perspiration being kept in. Better comfort can be achieved by using thick woollen socks between foot and boot to ensure that the perspiration is absorbed.

The weight factor, particularly with boots having safety features such as steel toecaps and mid-soles can be important with respect to foot comfort. However, if a boot has adequate toe spring (an upward curving of the sole from the horizontal surface) then comfortable walking is accomplished by the heel-toe rolling action.

Steel toecaps designed to protect the toes may bruise or chafe the toes across the foot joint after prolonged use. A poorly located toecap may produce a prominent ledge adjacent to the foot joint. It is important to choose the correct size of footwear, allowing for the type of socks to be worn.

In construction site / shipyard environments, the work can involve many hazardous operations that can cause serious injury in a number of ways. Injury from dropped or falling objects can be severe should an accident occur and suitable protective foot wear is not being worn.

Safety boots


  1. SAFETY FOOTWEAR BS-EN 345- 1993 or Equivalent - Normal safety shoes used by all trades.
  2. FOUNDRY BOOTS BS 4676 or Equivalent - Used by hot work trades (platers, welders, etc.)

British Standard for First Aid Kits - BS-8599-1:2011


Our new range of workplace first aid kits conform to
THE NEW BRITISH STANDARD FOR FIRST AID KITS: BS-8599-1:2011 BSI compliant first aid kits now come in four sizes: travel, small, medium and large.
Unsure what first aid kit you need for your workplace? View our helpful BSI workplace first aid kit guide.


Why are First Aid Kits changing?

Since 1997, one, ten, twenty and fifty person kits have been the workplace standard. However changing workplace environments, risk awareness and first aid protocols have required new first aid products to be developed by the British Healthcare Trade Association (BHTA) and the British Standards Institute (BSI) to help provide more effective first aid and has led to the establishment of the new standard of workplace first aid kits: BS-8599-1:2011

The Health and Safety (First Aid) regulations 1981 states: "An employer shall provide or ensure that there are provided such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first aid to be rendered to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work".
The introduction of the new British Standard means any person or organisation who continues to provide the old style one, ten, twenty and fifty person kits is no longer compliant with their obligations under The Health and Safety (First Aid) regulations 1981.


Why buy from us?
First aid is essential to all businesses so what better product to trust than a BS-8599-1:2011 compliant First Aid Kit from the nation's leading first aid organisation and trainer of choice for hundreds of thousands of businesses, local authorities and schools - St John Ambulance.

The St John Ambulance BSI workplace kits meet the highest quality standards and provide outstanding value for money.

In addition when you buy these kits and supplies from Workwear House, you get the products you need and help St John Ambulance save lives as the sale of these products help fund the St John Ambulance charity, making sure first aid is available in your community whenever its needed.

High Visibility Clothing at Work - What Do the Different Standards Mean?

For many years, fluorescent and neon colours have been used to attract attention and draw the eyes, be it to a sign or a fashion item. In recent years the prominence of Health and Safety has led to fluorescent or Hi-Visibility clothing featuring in our everyday lives.

High visibility and safety garments are used by individuals and employees across all business and industry sectors including: construction, postal workers, transport services, road maintenance, rail networks, airports and aviation, ports and shipping, as well as security personnel and the emergency services.

They are also increasingly worn in a variety of non-work environments. Often children can be seen wearing Hi-Vis vests or coats whilst walking to school. Cyclists and motorcyclists wear them to increase their visibility to other road users and even those taking part in sporting activities such as running and horse riding. Football and a myriad of sporting organisations wear them both for their players on the touchline and the training ground and also for their stewards and marshals.

The increase in the use of high visibility clothing has been a visual demonstration by employers and responsible individuals to comply with their health and safety obligations but are you making the correct decisions on the right product to purchase?

With so many of us now wearing hi-vis clothing it can be difficult to make sure you stand out from the crowd.To achieve this you should, as with all your workwear, personalise your High Visibility clothing with your company or organisation logo or name, thereby presenting yourself in a quality and professional manner.

At Workwear House we supply quality products for all budgets in quantities from 1 to as many as you need. We supply products from leading brands such as Yoko, Dickies, Harbour Lights, Portwest, Regatta and Result.

The following information on the European Standard for the performance of the conspicuous materials to be used in High Visibility clothing together with minimum areas and placement of the materials should assist you in deciding what product is right for your requirements. Essentially, the standard sets out the visibility requirement for differing scenarios and how well the garment has to perform.

High visibility, or 'conspicuity' as it is referred to, is enhanced by high contrast between the clothing and the background against which it is seen. The larger the areas of the conspicuous materials being used the greater the visibility. The European Standards inform us ofthe amount of difference that has to be achieved in order to be conspicuous or highly visible in contrast to most backgrounds found in urban and rural situations in daylight. However, users should consider the prevailing background in which protection is required and select the colour that provides the preferred contrast.

Higher levels of reflectivity provide greater contrast and visibility of warning clothing when seen in headlights during darkness. When greater levels of visibility are required the higher level of reflectivity material should be used. Put simply, the more you need or want to be seen the more reflective and bright the clothing needs to be.

Classifications

There are three classes for the effectiveness of hi-vis clothing. Clearly the size and type of garment will partly dictate its effectiveness. However, it is worth noting that Class 3 clothing offers greatest visibility against most urban and rural backgrounds. Accordingly Class 2 garments are significantly more visible to Class 1 clothing.

The right choice of what to wear should be based on the risk assessment of the condition in which the hi-vis or protective clothing is to be used. This should include consideration of the requirements necessary for an observer to understand that a high-vis wearer is present. The observer needs both to perceive and to recognise the wearer and then to decide to take appropriate avoidance action.

It is important to remember the wearing of a high visibility garment does not guarantee the wearer will be visible under all conditions. As with any safety item, appropriate advice should taken to ensure the right purchase decisions are made, and importantly where appropriate an employer should consult with their employees to decide what is needed, which would be more comfortable and how does that fit with the regulations. This is not just recommended but cited in the EN certification documents.

The importance of keeping high visibility garments in clean presentable condition must be remembered to maintain the required standards. All too often a filthy garment rendered unfit for purpose by its condition can be seen putting the wearer at risk and letting down the image of the company or organisation - do others see this as an employee at risk or an employer who doesn't care?

You get what you pay for! There is a large amount of hi-vis products available in varying degrees of quality. All too often you see the obligatory high-vis vest resting on work tools or tied to a ladder on a van roof only to end up discarded by the side of the road. When you buy a cheap flimsy product, is it reasonable to expect it to protect you from hazards?

It is better to be safe than sorry and therefore selecting a product that exceeds the minimum standards for your circumstance can often prove to be a better value purchase than simply going for the minimum requirement at the cheapest price.

To help you understand the different standards we summarise them below:

Class 1 defines the lowest visibility level and is comprised of:
  • Fluorescent material > 0.14 m2
  • Retro reflective material > 0.10 m2
Or
  • Combined material
  • Fluorescent reflective > 0.20 m2
Class 2 defines an intermediary visibility level and is required for any person working on or near A and B class roads and is comprised of:
  • One horizontal band and two shoulder bands or
  • Two horizontal bands and two shoulder bands or
  • Two horizontal bands
  • Trousers need two horizontal reflective circular bands on each trouser leg
  • Bib and brace trousers need one horizontal band around the torso, two horizontal circular bands on each trouser leg
  • Fluorescent material > 0.5 m2
  • Retro reflective material > 0.13 m2

Class 3 defines the highest level of visibility and is required for any person working on or near motorways, dual carriage ways or airports and is comprised of:
  • As Class 2 but with full length sleeves with two horizontal circular bands on each sleeve
  • Fluorescent material > 0.8 m2
  • Retro reflective material > 0.20 m2

You may also want to consider the following:
  • Do the garments conform to the EN471 Standard? Can this be verified?
  • Is there a CE mark on the label?
  • Does the garment meet the safety requirements you need to do your job? Think of qualities such as the fabric, its abrasion resistance, or whether it will be visible in the rain and from a long distance. There are huge differences in performance between products.
  • Check the label and the reflective material documentation for EN compliance.
  • Check the label to see if the garment meets your washing requirements and to ensure it is the right size

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends also checking the following:
Is the garment suitable for the risk? Choice of clothing should take into account ambient and artificial lighting conditions at the workplace, and the affect of conditions such as fog and snow. For some jobs an HV waistcoat, for example, may be all that is needed, but those workers who are particularly at risk, e.g. from moving vehicles, may need full body HV clothing so that they are as visible as possible to the driver. HV clothing should provide adequate protection during the day and at night, as well as in adverse weather. As a rule, the darker the conditions or worksite, the greater the amount of HV clothing required. To be effective HV clothing should be of a colour that will allow the wearer to stand out against the ambient background found in the working environment. In practice the best colours for this purpose are likely to be 'day-glo' or fluorescent yellow. Where necessary the clothing should also incorporate retro reflective material to make the wearer visible when seen in headlights in poor lighting conditions or during darkness. This may require reflective strips at or below waist level on waistcoats or jackets, or strips on trousers.

Is it suitable for the job? People working in warehouses may find that some types of loose fitting tabard may snag on moving machinery parts. Also HV coats may be too warm in summer months, in which case hi-vis waistcoats or hi-vis overalls with the appropriate HV qualities could be supplied.

Remember, PPE must always be suitable for the work; if the way of working changes, check that the PPE is still suitable.

Is it suitable for the wearer? HV clothing should be comfortable and fit the wearer properly and cause the minimum restriction in the wearer's movement.

Is it compatible with other forms of PPE? If two or more types of PPE are worn, they should not interfere with each other. Therefore, in the case of aircraft servicing staff, for example, protective clothing for chemical spills should also provide the necessary level of visibility. Similarly, wet or cold weather clothing should have suitable HV qualities.

Are there any standards which the clothing should meet? HV clothing should be manufactured to a recognised standard. The British Standard for high visibility warning clothing is BS EN 471. This is a harmonised European standard produced with the legal requirements for PPE in mind.

The first letter (X) indicates the class of conspicuity. As previously mentioned, this depends on the minimum area of conspicuous materials that are incorporated into the clothing, with Class 3 being the best and Class 1 the lowest; the second letter (Y) indicates the retro reflection performance with Class 2 being more visible than Class 1 when seen in headlights during darkness. The standard gives specifications for coveralls, jackets, waistcoats, tabards, trousers and harnesses. From July 1995, new clothing must be CE marked to show it meets the new European rules on the manufacture of PPE. Remember, the CE mark only means that the clothing meets the standard. It does not mean it can be used in all situations. HV clothing must be suitable for the actual conditions of use.

On the subject of safety clothing - whether that's high-vis, flame resistant, or something designed to protect workers' hands or face - always buy something that you are confident will protect you and your workers most effectively.

St John Ambulance - First Aid Kits

We now feature an extensive range of first aid kits and equipment from St John Ambulance, the UK's leading first aid charity and supplier of first aid products and health and safety training courses.
