Question and answer

It is October 20th this year at 4:30 pm and most of the children have gone home. The room leader has asked Liam (Trainee) to create a display of the children’s art work in the foyer. There are two display boards situated in the corridor leading to the playroom. Although Liam is quite tall he will still need to use the small step ladder to reach the top of the display board.
Liam decides on the arrangement of the artwork and then gets the step ladder. Liam completes one display board and pleased with his work moves on to the other one. Liam is about half way through the second display when he notices that several paintings have similar patterns. Liam decides to display these paintings together. To do this he needs to rearrange some of the paintings on the other board. Instead of moving the ladder as required by the children services procedures, Liam decides to instead try to reach across. As he does so he overbalances and falls backwards onto the floor. Liam lands heavily, winding himself and hitting his head on the tiled floor.
Just as Liam falls, Nanji, the room leader comes through the door. She quickly realises Liam is winded and tries to keep him calm. Nanji calls out for assistance but the other staff are with the children or can’t hear her. Nanji stays with Liam for five minutes until his breathing steadies and then goes for help.
Nanji tells Ellie who’s in the kitchen to call an ambulance and telephone Liam’s emergency contact. Nanji quickly returns with a cold pack for Liam’s head and covers him with a nearby blanket. Nanji accompanies Liam to the Local Sunnyside Hospital, where they are met by Liam’s mother.
At 5:10pm after the ambulance leaves Ellie telephones the centre Director to report the accident. The Director notifies the employer and insurance company immediately. On her return Nanji completes the Accident Report.
Liam is released from the hospital after several hours of observation. He has jarred and bruised his back, twisted his ankle and suffered a mild concussion. Liam is not able to return to work for two weeks.
The following day the Director copied the WHS Injury Register, distributed the report to the Employer, and completed the required documentation for the Insurance Company. After a discussion with Nanji about the incident it was decided that Liam should undergo further WHS training.
