Fourways domestic workers learn CPR
PINESLOPES – It was a busy day of learning about crime, substance abuse and CPR at the most recent domestic workers' networking session
Hirsch’s Fourways, the flagship store of the Hirsch’s group in Gauteng, pulled off a double whammy for their domestic workers’ networking sessions by organising both the Douglasdale Police Station and Life Hospital representatives to come and speak to the group.
“Representatives from the Douglasdale Police Station, Sergeant Nicolus Mokwena and Warrant Officer Devlin Phillips, spoke briefly about the youth and the huge peer pressure regarding alcohol and drugs and how parents can arm themselves with information,” said public relations officer Sharron Dingle.
“Straight after this, we had chief paramedic Warren Hastings from Life Hospital Fourways, his helpers and Jane Lamprey, marketing and communications manager for the hospital, giving a talk and demonstration. They had the ‘whole family’ of CPR dummies present.
“Although it was not an accredited course, Warren patiently set the scene for why and how CPR is so important. He showed us straight chest compression CPR and each of the ladies had the experience of doing the CPR. Warren said he was impressed by how well the ladies did to get the compression rhythm going.”
