After the use of any first aid equipment or stock, Lifeguards are to ensure that the First Aid Kits are stocked as per SLSQ guidelines ready for use. All back-up stock can be located in the First Aid Room storage key for cupboard is available from ‘Control’ or the Lifeguard Supervisor.

Procedure

The ordering of First Aid stock is to be done by the Lifeguard Supervisor/Senior Lifeguard or to whom they delegate by means of an email. The amount of stock that is ordered will vary dependant on the time of year. The ordering of stock should be conducted a minimum of once a month or as deemed necessary by the Lifeguard Supervisor/Senior Lifeguard.

SLSQ is also responsible for the stocking of CPS, Brisbane Marketing and South Bank Corporation First Aid Kits. These kits are to be stocked from stock that is stored in the Lifeguard Supervisors office. The Lifeguard Supervisor is responsible for the stocking and restocking of these kits but can delegate the duty to a Lifeguard as deemed necessary. In the case a corporation kit is presented to the Lifeguards the kit may be checked and any stock replaced from the supervisor’s office. If the supervisor is not present then any items replaced must be listed down in the summary report log.
