Presentation
In the workplace, occupational accidents require specialist expertise to ensure safety and a prompt response. This course provides the essential skills to respond effectively to a workplace accident and help prevent occupational risks within your organisation.
This 2-day SST course is structured into practical modules with a strong hands-on focus. You will learn how the workplace first aider (SST) fits into an organisation and understand the relevant legal and regulatory framework. You will master techniques to protect casualties and witnesses, assess casualties and alert emergency services. Applying appropriate first aid to situations such as bleeding, sudden illness and burns is another key skill you will develop. You will also identify risks specific to your organisation's activities and complete practical exercises tailored to your context.
By the end of this first aid training, you will be able to apply first aid techniques independently and confidently and respond effectively to different workplace accident situations. These skills will enable you to contribute actively to protecting people and preventing occupational risks.
