Playing for real

Article Abstract:

The Casualties' Union, which provides hands-on first aid experience for emergency personnel and others, assisted the London Fire Brigade and Ambulance Service in refining its operational efficiency. The exercise was undertaken at Rhone Poulenc Rorer Ltd's pharmaceutical research, manufacture and distribution site at Dagenham East. It simulated a pressure explosion in the chlorine feed system and Casualties' Union members simulated various injuries such as fractures, cuts and breathing difficulties.

Article Abstract:

Inadequate and patchy regulation of the door supervisor sector in the leisure industry has resulted in the publication of a British Standards Institute code of practise which is designed to provide guidelines for businesses to work from. Alcohol and drugs often fuel violence towards door personnel, which highlights the need for greater awareness of conflict management and medical training. Door personnel must be fit and have good interpersonal skills.
