Emergency Treatment Plan & CPR Guide Poster A3 Laminated
An A3 laminated CPR poster setting out the DRSABCD basic life support response as a wall reference. For workplaces, first aid rooms, training rooms, pools and site offices, where the person who needs it will be under pressure and reading fast.
Why a CPR poster on the wall
In an actual emergency, people who have done the training still freeze. A poster does one job: it gives a sequence to follow when recall fails. It has to be readable at a glance from a few metres, which is why a wall chart beats a card in a kit or a page in a manual.
The secondary benefit is passive: a chart on the wall of a tea room is read idly hundreds of times over a year by people who will never open the first aid manual.
What DRSABCD covers
The Australian basic life support sequence, step by step:
- Danger – to you, to bystanders, then to the patient
- Response – talk and touch, check for a response
- Send for help – call for an ambulance
- Airway – open and clear it
- Breathing – look, listen and feel for normal breathing
- CPR – start compressions and breaths
- Defibrillation – apply an AED as soon as one is available
Where to put a CPR poster
Next to the first aid kit, next to the defibrillator cabinet, in the tea room, and in the plant or pool area. The test is simple: could someone standing where the incident is likely to happen see it without going to look for it? A chart in the manager’s office fails that test.
Keep it with your first aid kit, and browse first aid supplies for the rest of the room.

CPR poster FAQs
What does DRSABCD stand for?
Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, Defibrillation. It is the Australian basic life support sequence, and the order matters: checking for danger before approaching is what stops a rescuer becoming a second patient.
What size is the poster?
A3 and laminated. That reads at a glance from a few metres, which is the distance that matters when someone is crossing a room toward a collapsed person.
Where should I put it?
Beside the first aid kit, beside the defibrillator, and anywhere an incident is likely: plant rooms, pool areas, kitchens, workshops. Visible from where it would be needed, not filed in an office.
Does a poster satisfy our first aid obligations?
No. Workplace requirements generally cover trained first aiders, kit contents and access, not signage. A chart supports those arrangements; check the rules that apply to your workplace.
Why laminated?
Because it goes on a wall in a real workplace. Lamination survives damp, dust, handling and wiping down, where plain paper curls and tears within months.
Does the guidance change?
Resuscitation guidance is reviewed periodically. Check occasionally that your chart still reflects current resuscitation council guidance, and replace it when it does not, the same way you check kit expiry dates.
A wall chart is a memory aid and does not replace accredited first aid or CPR training. In an emergency call your local emergency number. This information is a general guide and is not medical advice.
