Reptilian Hazards and Manual Handling

An incident has occurred yet again. Would you believe it?

Honestly. The purpose of this bulletin is to bring it to the attention of staff.

Recently, a crew consisting of a TQAT and an old-hand stretcher monkey trod on the head of a prized Iguana whilst on a non-urgent “white” call.

This resulted in the death of “Iggy” and a reportable manual handling hazard incident which required the attendance of another A&E crew and further cost to the Trust.

What a Public Relations nightmare!

Whilst it may be possible to kill pets on any call it is imperative that staff check for any scaly, armoured stoat-like creatures to ensure that this does not occur.

Revised copies of Training Order 5P OO F / reptiles, pets and death: head crushing & other causes (winter pressure related) are available from Station Officers. So read it, all right.
