Health Sciences and Social Services › Preventive Health
This course provides foundational knowledge and practical skills for administering first aid in the workplace. Participants will learn to assess emergency situations, perform basic life support, and manage common injuries until professional medical help arrives.
This course is designed for all employees in any workplace setting, particularly those with no prior first aid training. It is ideal for new hires, safety representatives, and team leaders who may be first responders in an emergency.
None — open enrollment.
Objectives:
• Understand the principles and legal requirements of first aid in the South African workplace.
• Identify common workplace hazards and potential injuries.
• Demonstrate basic life support techniques, including CPR and recovery position.
• Learn to manage bleeding, wounds, and shock.
• Practice emergency scene management and calling for help.
Topics:
• Legal framework: OHSA, Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA), and SAQA unit standard 116534.
• Role and responsibilities of a first aider.
• Primary survey (DRABC) and secondary survey.
• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for adults.
• Management of bleeding, wounds, and shock.
• Fractures, sprains, and strains: immobilisation techniques.
• Burns and scalds: classification and treatment.
• Emergency scene management and communication.
This course is made up of exercises and case studies delivered alongside the theory — no separate practical sessions are required to complete it.
Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course and a final summative test at the end.
Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 30% to the final total.
On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 70% to the overall mark.
| Component | Out of | Weight |
|---|---|---|
