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.

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.
