Most professionals do not undergo first aid or emergency response training because they think it’s unnecessary and time-consuming.
What most employers do not see is that first aid training in the workspace is a long-term investment into the health and safety of employees. According to a report by WHO, “there has been a conspicuous lack of health sector guidelines on emergency preparedness.”There are a few benefits—enhanced teamwork, confidence, loyalty with the company—that will be seen immediately after the training. However, the long term benefit can only be seen months or years down the line.
Keeping in mind the benefits of first aid training in the workspace, we’ve designed the following courses that are a day long. The aim is to create a comprehensive, yet concise, training that covers theoretical as well as practical knowledge that contributes to emergency preparedness.
