Course Overview
Occupational First Aid & CPR (AED) – 2 Days
Duration: 2 Days
Basic First Aid Training at the Work Place aims to give a more comprehensive coverage on the understanding and practical guidance as well as the theoretical aspects of first aid to the Volunteers and the public based on the concept of prevention. When someone becomes ill or injured, there is usually a short period of time before you can get professional medical assistance. It is that length of time that is most critical to the victim. What you do, or don’t do during that period of time can make the difference between life and death. It has been shown that proper initial handling of the accident victims contributes significantly to the final outcome and often determines if a life could be saved. This program will impart the basic practical knowledge of First Aid.
