Safety & Emergency Management • Medical Response Awareness Programme
First Aid Awareness
Developing Awareness to Support Safe and Effective Emergency Response
Medical emergencies can occur without warning in any workplace. Security Officers are often among the first people to arrive at the scene and may be required to assist until qualified medical personnel take over.
This programme develops an understanding of first aid awareness, emergency communication, scene safety and the role of the Security Officer in supporting medical emergencies while working within organisational procedures.
Programme Overview
Early recognition of a medical emergency and prompt communication can make a significant difference while professional medical assistance is on its way.
This programme introduces the principles of first aid awareness, emphasising scene safety, emergency reporting, casualty care priorities and the Security Officer’s supporting role during medical incidents.
This awareness programme complements accredited first aid training and does not replace practical certification where required.
