The First Aid at Work course includes important training modules. Each module helps employees get ready for different types of emergencies.
Basic Life Support and CPR: Employees learn how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) effectively in critical situations.
Handling Injuries and Illnesses: Training on how to manage common workplace injuries such as cuts, burns, fractures, and sprains, as well as sudden illnesses like heart attacks or strokes.
Emergency Response Protocols: Clear instructions for creating and using emergency response plans, including evacuation steps and emergency contact information.
This approach makes sure that participants are knowledgeable and ready to act quickly and effectively.
The First Aid at Work course emphasises practical skills development through:
Hands-on Practice Sessions: Participants learn by doing practical exercises that mimic real-life situations. These sessions strengthen the skills taught in the course, like bandaging, handling sprains, and performing CPR.
Scenario-Based Assessments: Trainees take scenario-based tests that push them to use their knowledge in practice emergency situations. This helps ensure they are ready and capable.
