  • Accident, First Aid and Medical Conditions Policy
    Accident, First Aid and Medical Conditions Policy Many children and staff will at some time become unwell at school, have a condition that requires medication or have an accident that requires First Aid. Our school is an inclusive community that supports the pupils to be healthy, stay safe and be prepared for moving onto their next school. This policy outlines the procedure concerning : 1. Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences 2. First Aid Procedures 3. The Administration of Medicines 4. Supporting pupils with medical conditions 1. Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) require that employers report all fatal and specified major injuries, any injuries that result in the inability of an employee to work more than 3 days, or any injury which results in a person being admitted to hospital for more than 24 hours. The regulations relate to any employee or other person within the school or engaged upon an activity arranged by the school. Under the requirements of the Regulations, where someone dies or suffers a specified major injury or condition, or there is a dangerous occurrence, as defined in the Regulations, the school has to notify the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) immediately by the quickest practicable means. In practice, compliance with either of these provisions will normally mean a telephone call to the Incident Contact Centre (ICC) on 0845-300-9923 during normal office hours. The ICC operator will complete a report form over the phone and a copy will be sent to the school.

Submitted: 30 July 2017; Accepted: 08 Aug 2017; Published: 22 Sep 2017 Abstract High voltage electric burns can cause massive damage to the body tissues. Direct contact with the live electric wires may result in the severe damage of the underlying subdermal tissues. However the superficial presentation is often misleading as most of the damage occurs under the skin. Very less literature has been found regarding the presentation of high voltage burns in head and neck region. We present a patient who sustained high voltage burns in the neck region resulting in massive damage of the underlying tissues.

  • Electrocution Death: Exit Mark Injury Use in the Suggestion of Body Posture During Forensic Investigation
    Electrocution Death: Exit Mark Injury use in the Suggestion of Body Posture during Forensic Investigation Pudji Hardjanto1,4 Simon Martin Manyanza Nzilibili1,3 Ahmad Yudianto1,2 1Forensic Science Program, Post Graduate School Universitas Airlangga, 4-6 Airlangga Rd., 60286 Surabaya – Indonesia. 2Department of Forensic and Medico-legal, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya – Indonesia 3Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender Elderly and Children, Dodoma – Tanzania. 4Criminal Investigative Unit, Polrestabes Surabaya, Indonesia. Keywords: Body Posture, Electrocution, Exit Injury, Forensic Reconstruction Abstract: Since then, electrocution and forensic investigation of electric death associated with criminal offenses have established the importance of mark injuries. The marks (entry and exit) came into significance as they were/are used to establish fatality and extent of electric power electrocuted. Unlike entry, exit injury has presented attention to scientists on its adequate and vital use in explaining forensic incident despite being infrequent. To enrich forensic understanding and make use of this “silent witness – exit mark”, this study used four cases of related scenario. Three of the four cases were literature-based cases and one case involved in investigation. By interpreting the cases, this paper argued that exit injury contains useful information that can be related to posture of the body before electrocution. This paper thereby suggested the presence of the exit injury to be related to body posture, sole plantar exit injury in particular (stood position). This would help investigators and scientists to determine the immediate probable position and state of victim before electrocution. Furthermore, the suggestion would assist reconstruction processes that seek to find out the event originality through responding to fundamental and core principle tools of incidence investigation, CoPRRR, and the 6Ws.

  • Electrical Burns: Highlights from a 5-Year Retrospective Analysis
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Electrical burns: Highlights from a 5-year retrospective analysis Alper Kurt, M.D.,1 Kamil Yıldırım, M.D.,1 Çağlayan Yağmur, M.D.,3 Osman Kelahmetoğlu, M.D.,2 Ozan Aslan, M.D.,1 Murat Gümüş, M.D.,1 Ethem Güneren, M.D.,2 1Department of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Samsun Training and Research Hospital, Samsun-Turkey 2Department of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Bezm-i Alem Vakif Foundation University Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul-Turkey 3Department of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine, Samsun-Turkey ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Electrical burns are the third most common cause of burn injuries, after scald and flame burns. In spite of de- creasing mortality rates as advancements are made in treatment modalities and medical equipment, significant complications and socioeconomic consequences still accompany electrical burns. Analyzed in the present study were data from patients hospitalized for electrical burns between 2008 and 2012 in the Samsun Training and Research Hospital, the only burn care center in the Black Sea region of Turkey. METHODS: Data from 94 patients (84 males, 10 females) hospitalized for electrical burns between 2008 and 2012 were retrospec- tively evaluated. Patient age, gender, occupation, presence of coexisting trauma, burn degree, burned percentage of total body surface area (TBSA), voltage of the electric current (low or high), medical cost (per day and total), and infection rates were analyzed. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 26.4±13.2 years. Ten patients were female (10.6%) and 84 were male (89.4%). High-voltage burns were sustained by 47 patients (50%) and low-voltage burns by 42 (44.7%); the remaining 5 were flash burns.
