First aid Melbourne

Initial Hygiene offers customised first-aid solutions for businesses across Melbourne, helping workplaces manage incidents effectively while promoting a culture of safety and care.

First aid kits and defibrillation

Emergencies can occur at any time, and having well-equipped first aid kits and defibrillators ensures that workplaces are prepared to handle injuries, cardiac arrests, and medical incidents effectively. A properly stocked first aid kit allows employees to respond immediately to minor injuries, while an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can significantly improve survival rates in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.

First aid kits

A fully stocked and well-maintained first aid kit is crucial for managing injuries promptly until professional help arrives. These kits contain a range of supplies, from dressings and antiseptics to bandages and tools, designed to handle both minor and severe injuries.

  • Basic kits for offices: Designed for low-risk environments, these kits include essential items for treating cuts, burns, and other minor injuries.
  • Comprehensive kits for high-risk industries: These advanced kits are ideal for workplaces with greater hazards, such as construction sites, outdoor environments, or manufacturing facilities. They include specialised modules for snake bites, sprains, instant ice, and eye wash.

Defibrillators

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of workplace emergencies, and using a defibrillator promptly can significantly increase survival rates. According to the American Heart Association, survival rates can soar to 70-90% if defibrillation is administered within minutes of collapse. However, for every minute that passes without intervention, the chance of survival decreases by 7-10%. Defibrillators provide a controlled electrical shock to restore normal heart rhythm during a cardiac emergency.

Integrating first aid kits and defibrillators into your workplace not only prepares your team for medical emergencies but also demonstrates a strong commitment to health, safety, and compliance.

Automated external defibrillators (AED)

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are essential emergency devices designed to deliver life-saving electric shocks to individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. With simple, intuitive operation, AEDs can be used by anyone, even without medical training, to increase survival rates before emergency services arrive.
