Basic First Aid and CPR

The Basic First Aid and CPR training course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals has key lifesaving skills with respect to best practices and standards such as the American Heart Association (AHA) CPR and First Aid standards as well as OSHA guidelines for workplace safety (29 CFR 1910.151). The course ins instructs the recognition and initial management of the most common medical emergencies and how to respond until advanced medical help arrives. These include cardiac arrest, choking, bleeding, burns, fractures and sudden illnesses. Participants receive practical training of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for adults, children, and infants. The course covers the most important skills in first aid which are wound care, bandaging, splinting, and control of other environmental emergencies like hypothermia and heat stroke with emphasis on infection prevention and control with biohazard exposure. Participants learn to assess the scene for hazards, establish care priority using triage, and communicate with emergency services as outlined by the Red Cross and OSHA guidelines. The course includes interactive simulations and scenario-based exercises to reinforce the course objectives, knowledge retention, and ease the application in real-life situations. Upon finishing this course, participants will be able to lessen the impact of injuries sustained within the workplace, improve safety readiness, and assist in the creation of a safer setting that complies with relevant laws and the best practices of occupational health and safety, while cultivating a culture of proactive emergency response preparedness.

Participants will receive online training through Microsoft Teams and LMS. Courses are offered by accredited broadcasters and backed by expert instruction and official study materials. All assessments are conducted online and successful participants are awarded certificates that are accepted internationally.
