In a competitive labor market, concern for employee health is becoming one of the top priorities for businesses to attract and retain workers. Everyone is at risk of health problems that can happen anywhere: at work, at home, in society. Therefore, when a business organizes First Aid skills training for employees, it not only shows concern for the health of workers and their families. Companies that are carefully prepared for emergency situations will build trust among employees and customers.

First aid skills are the knowledge and skills necessary to intervene in health-related emergencies before medical personnel arrive promptly. These situations may include workplace accidents at the factory or sudden illnesses such as stroke, cardiac arrest, etc. in the office. Having many employees in the company equipped with this skill not only helps them be confident and proactive when facing emergencies but also creates a sense of peace of mind when working for everyone and makes them feel more attached to their work.

Health incidents at work can happen at any time without warning

Thanks to those great benefits, up to now, more than 150 businesses in many different fields have trusted and chosen SSVN Survival Skills as their partner to provide regular training services. See more: feedback from students from many different businesses.

Understand the goals of first aid

We call it FIRST AID because it is the first thing to do when an incident occurs before medical staff can get to the scene. When a victim has cardiac or respiratory arrest, you only have 4 – 8 minutes of ‘golden time’ to save the victim. However, it is difficult for ambulances and medical forces to be present at the scene or for you to be able to take the victim to the hospital in time during this ‘golden time’. When taken to the hospital, the doctor will treat the victim, however, no matter how good the doctor or hospital is, they cannot treat successfully if the victim has died or the condition has become worse than before. when taken to the hospital.

Proper first aid will help:

  • Preserve the victim’s life
  • Prevent the victim’s problems from becoming more serious
  • Giúp phục hồi nhanh hơn sau quá trình điều trị

Thanks to that, doctors can treat victims more effectively. Good first aid will help your colleagues reduce pain, recover quickly and return to work and normal life soon.

Benefits of organizing first aid training at businesses

Get familiar with handling situations in the office environment

One of the key benefits of conducting first aid training in-house is the ability to tailor training to the unique potential hazards of your own workplace. Different workplaces have different risks – for example, a construction site has a different set of potential injuries than an office environment.

Students find ways to handle problems using situations in their own work environment

By customizing training programs to your business’ unique conditions, employees can be aware of the specific risks they may face and adapt to existing conditions to handle them appropriately. For example: knowing what items are available that can be used immediately for first aid, the location of the nearest emergency exit, how to move the victim through the aisles, etc. This helps your staff not only master general first aid principles, but also apply them effectively in every workplace.

Nurture collective responsibility

First aid training is also a foundational element in fostering a culture that promotes safety and responsibility in the workplace. A business providing employees with first aid training shows that the organization values the health of its employees and is committed to providing a safe work environment. In turn, this will encourage employees to feel more responsible for their own safety and that of their colleagues. Workers with first aid training are more likely to detect and report hazards, follow safety procedures, and engage in preventative measures, thereby reducing the likelihood of incidents occurring. what a pity.

Psychological benefits

Workplace health incidents can have a severe psychological impact, not only on the victims but also on their co-workers. Witnessing a serious injury or health incidents such as stroke or cardiac arrest can panic people and leave lasting psychological impacts. However, having people who know how to provide first aid present and handle the situation calmly and effectively will greatly reduce the stress and anxiety involved. Knowing that there are colleagues around who are always ready to handle emergencies contributes to a sense of safety and peace of mind in the workplace.

Team building activities strengthens teamwork

SSVN’s classes are always full of laughter.

Organizing a first aid training course as a team building activity not only brings benefits in terms of skills, but also contributes to building cohesion and team spirit. Unlike the old methods that are theoretical and boring, SSVN’s international standard First Aid Program is designed with many group game activities that not only help students learn quickly and remember operations for a long time but also full of energy to participate in the course with interest. During classes, students will be divided into small groups and perform practical exercises, from handling simulated situations to applying first aid techniques. Thereby, members will clearly understand their roles in the team, learn how to work in groups and develop effective communication skills.

Show concern for the employee’s family

First aid skills are not only applicable when an occupational accident occurs but can also be applied in each worker’s own family. Health incidents for families are major physical, mental and financial losses for each employee. Preventing and mitigating preventable injuries not only helps your team feel secure in their work and improves working morale, but also shows the company’s support and sympathy, helping them contribute to their work. devote yourself to the company. Furthermore, job satisfaction also reduces turnover, helping companies retain talented employees.

Showing concern for the safety and health of employees in a practical way not only helps attract talent but also creates a competitive advantage, especially in the context of an increasingly fierce labor market. A business that is open, humane and cares about people will certainly easily build prestige and trust from society.
