Workplace First Aid (Unit Standards 6402& 6401)
The MEDIC First Aid Emergency Care training programme is designed to train individuals and corporations that require training in basic first aid skills. This programme will provide first aid training to students, giving them the skills necessary to manage illnesses and injuries until the arrival of EMS. Emergency Care is designed to complement cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in order to meet OSH requirements for first aid training in the workplace. Upon completion Unit Standards 6402 & 6401 can be assessed.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
The MEDIC First Aid AED Supplement is designed to teach the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) when responding to a person experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in occupational settings. A defibrillator is the only definitive treatment. AEDs are used prior to arrival of EMS and are an integral component of the Chain of Survival . The first few minutes of care are critical for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
The MEDIC First Aid Bloodborne Pathogens programme is designed to train employees who have a significant health risk of occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious bodily fluids and materials.
During this supplement the trained first aid provider will learn the importance of introducing oxygen as an integral part of the care provided for an ill or injured patient. Supplying emergency oxygen helps meet the ill or injured patient's critical need for oxygen. When illness or injury reduces the body's ability to process oxygen, shock will soon occur unless the effects of the decreased amount of oxygen in the blood can be reversed.
The MEDIC First Aid Advanced First Aid Supplement is designed to bridge the gap between the basic first aid provider and professional emergency medical services. This programme provides students with advanced first aid training, giving them additional tools to manage illnesses and injuries until the arrival of EMS .
