MAPSA - first aid training
Massey Albany Pasifika Students' Association (MAPSA) (2020/R5)
Thanks to our Health and Safety Grant, MAPSA is now fully equipped with adequate health and safety equipment to accompany us to all our events. Our assets now include a sports first aid kit, wet floor sign, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, and PPE such as gloves and hand sanitizer.
On top of
this, a further two of our members undertook a First Aid Training course at St
Johns Albany on Dec 12. This was a full day course covering everything from
common injuries to life-threatening scenarios, CPR for adults, children and
infants, and emergency management skills. We are proud to say that half of our
current executive team are now trained in first aid.
Having the
appropriate health and safety equipment to mitigate potential hazards and
manage accidents or injuries is our responsibility as a club. With the help of
this grant, we can confidently assure all members/guests that we take their
health, safety and wellbeing seriously.
As always,
we’d love to give a massive thank you to the ASA, and CSCG Committee for all
their help in preparing and processing our Health and Safety Grant. The first
aid training course has been a fantastic learning experience and we pledge to
ensure MAPSA keeps all equipment well stocked and our executive team well
educated.
