Workplaces need to ensure that they meet WorkSafe NZ requirements for first aiders. This shorter course can be helpful as an additional course for workplaces who wish to go above and beyond their legal requirements and ensure that ALL their staff know what to do in an emergency, without the huge cost and time commitments of the longer NZQA courses.

This is a concise practical course covering general First Aid covering:

• CPR (practice with manikins-chest compressions only, but not mouth-to-mouth); use of automated defibrillators in a public setting.

• Choke-rescue techniques (practice with manikins).

• Dealing with emergency medical situations such as heart attacks, strokes, diabetic emergencies, seizures, etc.

• Dealing with other emergency situations such as burns, allergic reactions, poisonings, concussion, broken bones, etc.

Everyone on the course receives a booklet, to complement the explanations and demonstrations on the course. Participants also receive a certificate.
