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. |
