Oxygen in General First

Oxygen Provision in General First Aid
(incorporating PUXEME003 Administer Oxygen in Emergency Situations)

Oxygen in the Workplace
Health Training Package SRXEMR003A

Now our Oxygen provider course is nationally recognized in its units of competency and excellent for the workplace.

The course consists of one unit of competency: PUXEME003A - Administer Oxygen in Emergency Situations, supported where necessary by the Course in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Participants must be 14 years or older. In addition, in Australia, participants must have completed the Apply First Aid Course within the last 3 years and be current in CPR.

Topics covered include illness or injury recognition, the benefits of oxygen provision, precautions and safety procedures, and oxygen provision to both responsive and unresponsive victims. Participants are certified in the use of the particular oxygen unit (or an equivalent system) on which the training was conducted.

The Resuscitation component, when conducted, is designed to train participants in the management of the unresponsive victim, expired air resuscitation (EAR) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Oxygen for Divers

All divers are strongly advised to undergo training in resuscitation and oxygen provision. The skills developed are extremely valuable, not only in the diving environment, but in all walks of life.

In the increasingly litigious environment in which we live, there is now more pressure than ever for workplace, individuals, dive charter operators, lifeguards and other professionals to ensure that appropriate oxygen equipment and properly trained and qualified oxygen providers are available where diving or certain other activities are conducted, as well as in certain workplaces where hazards exist or ill people may reside.

Oxygen training is available through several first aid training agencies. However, most of these courses are not diver-oriented and/or as well supported with experience, materials and equipment.

Emergency First Response has developed an oxygen provider program to provide everyone with this important training and this is now the fastest growing and most respected oxygen program for individuals, worldwide.

Participants are certified in the use of the DAN Oxygen Unit, or an equivalent system.
