Work health and safety

It is 4:00 PM on Monday 15^thFebruary 2022. You are completing your shift at your workplace (you work as either an educator or school learning support officer).As part of your shift, you are required to maintain safe housekeeping practices in the work area and at the start of your shift, all areas were clear. You havent been in the foyer since the start of your shift but unfortunately, the cleaning staff have left a cleaning bucket half under one of the chairs.

Jane Smith, is a young child (DOB 1/01/2018; Address 16 That Street, This town, 1234) running around the foyer as her mother waits for her scheduled appointment with one of your supervisors.

As Jane plays around, her foot gets caught on the cleaning bucket that had been left half under one of the chairs. She stumbles and falls heavily on her left side, impacting her elbow on the tiled floor.

Hearing her cries, you run over to the child who says she has a sore elbow and that her hip and thigh hurt.

Mary Smith, Janes mother, witnessed the fall and attends to her first, comforting and helping Jane stable her elbow still.

While Janes mother comforts Jane, you go and get the first aid kit and return to Jane to apply basic first aid. As Janes mother has helped Jane steady the arm at a right angle positioned across the front of Janes body, you secure a sling (from the first aid box) to support and brace the arm/elbow still. Jane expresses that she feels her hip and thigh dont hurt so much anymore. Mary has a look and besides the area being a little red it seems ok.

As Jane settles and there are no other signs of injury, Mary requests that no ambulance be called and that she will take Jane to the nearest doctor to get a referral for an X-ray for Janes elbow.

After Mary and Jane leave you ensure that the cleaning bucket is removed from the area and stored safely away. You then notify your workplace supervisor, Vivian. Vivian then asks you to complete the workplace incident and injury report.
