Training
FIRST AID
Description: Properly applied first aid can save lives, reduce
recovery and possibly mean the difference between temporary
disability or lifelong disability for the victim. Participants learn
to recognize the signs and symptoms of injuries and sudden
illness. Critical information about how to deal with emergencies like bleeding, shock, heat or cold emergencies, strains, strokes and seizures is shared.
CPR
Description: The CPR course targets all lay rescuers, such as school children, family members of patients at risk of sudden cardiac death, and other people who want to learn rescue skills for loved ones. The course presents information on the Chain of Survival and signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest and choking. The course also provides child and infant CPR and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO) and information on prevention of the most common fatal injuries in children and infants.
AED
Description: A comprehensive course for the First Responder, is designed to teach the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to all lay rescuers, particularly those who are expected to respond to emergencies in the workplace. It is specifically designed for lay rescuers who are required to obtain a course completion card (a credential) documenting completion of a AED course.
