First Aid Training - Can You Afford Not to Attend?
Share: 
Do you know exactly what to do if someone goes in cardiac arrest or starts choking?
If the answer is No then you should consider completing first aid course. In fact, the vast majority of first aiders were required to use their life saving skills outside work: at home, during a football match, in a busy restaurant, etc. Some of the areas covered in any first aid course include shock, unconsciousness, recovery position, resuscitation, asphyxia, heart attack, etc.
There are few different types of first aid courses available:
Occupational first aid. This is three days FETAC Level 5 programme. This highly interactive course provides participants with excellent knowledge and practical skills on how to give effective life support and maintain comfort of an injured person until professional help arrives. All participants will be certified to FETAC Level 5 on successful completion of the course. The certificate is valid for two years and regular refresher training is essential to maintain skills and certification.
Emergency/basic first aid. This is one day course and is an excellent introduction to first aid. This course provides participants with basic knowledge and tools required to perform CPR and deal with various life threatening situations.
We are also offering half-a-day courses in the use of AED (automated external defibrillator) and cardiac first response.
If you have small kids or work in the childcare sector, paediatric first aid course is a must. You will also find this course very useful if you are a parent, grandparent, babysitter, etc. This hands-on training course includes child assessment, bleeding and wounds, child and infant CPR, burns and scalds and other medical emergencies.
We, at AK Safety Management will be very happy to advise you on the most suitable first aid course for you – please contact us for further details.
