Basic First Aid at Work training session for CQ BID members



In response to the positive feedback from our CPR Lifesaver Workshops held in June, CQ BID is excited to offer a follow-up training session. This session will delve deeper into the topics covered in the previous one-hour workshop, provide more hands-on experience and address additional common emergencies. The Basic First Aid at Work training will take place on Wednesday 7th August  from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

This 3-hour course is jam packed with information covering the elements of “Emergency First Aid at Work” (EFAW) in a compressed fashion. The course discusses the roles and responsibilities of the First Aider including legal accountability then moves directly into providing learners with the tools needed to cope with an array of emergency scenarios including:

    Triage in a major incident
    Learning and applying the primary survey
    Responding to an unconscious casualty and the recovery position
    Responding to a casualty who is not breathing, CPR & use of AED
    Recognising and responding to medical emergencies and life-threatening injuries like
    Heart Attack, Stroke, Seizures, Diabetic Emergencies
    Major wounds and blood loss, Severe Burns and Shock
    Choking
    Minor injuries
    Procedures for providing information to Emergency Services including the use of SBAR

The course is intensive, fast paced, and enjoyable. Delegates will have opportunity to practice a range of skills and the trainer is happy to take any questions related to emergency first aid that you may have.
