Course Summary
Medical emergencies can happen in any workplace, but the first few minutes often determine what happens next. Employees may know where the first aid box is located, yet still lack the confidence to assess a casualty, perform CPR or use an AED when immediate action is required.
This two day course equips workplace first aiders and employee responders with the practical skills needed to manage common medical emergencies until professional medical assistance arrives.
Participants learn how to assess a casualty, control immediate risks, manage bleeding and injuries, perform adult CPR, operate an AED and respond to choking and other medical emergencies. The course combines classroom learning, demonstrations, simulations and supervised practical activities.
The emphasis is on practical workplace readiness. Participants leave with a clearer understanding of their responsibilities and the confidence to respond safely and appropriately during a medical emergency.
