not only builds confidence among employees to handle emergencies effectively
but also reinforces a strong safety culture within the organization.
What’s Covered in a Comprehensive First Aid and Fire

typically covers a variety of essential topics to ensure employees are
well-prepared. Training sessions provided by experts like Green World Group

such as wound care, CPR, and managing conditions like choking, shock, and
cardiac arrest.

Response Procedures: Employees are trained on the steps to take during
an emergency, including evacuation plans, communication protocols, and how
to assist colleagues.
- Conducting
Evacuation Drills: Regular drills ensure that employees know the
evacuation routes and procedures, fostering a culture of preparedness.
Key Aspects of First Aid and Fire Safety Techniques
First Aid Technique: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical
life-saving technique used when someone’s heartbeat or breathing has stopped.
Here's a quick overview:
- Check
Responsiveness: Ensure the person is unresponsive and call for
emergency services.
- Chest
Compressions: Place the heel of one hand on the centre of the chest,
interlock fingers, and push down hard and fast (2 inches deep) at a rate
of 100–120 compressions per minute.
- Rescue
Breaths (if trained): After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths,
tilting the head back to open the airway. Continue alternating until help
arrives or the person becomes responsive.
Knowing CPR can significantly increase a victim’s chance of
survival in emergencies.
Fire Safety Technique: Using a Fire Extinguisher (PASS
Method)
Using a fire extinguisher effectively is vital for
controlling small fires. The “PASS” method simplifies this process:
- P
– Pull the Pin: Break the tamper seal by pulling the pin at the top of
the extinguisher.
- A
– Aim the Nozzle: Point the nozzle at the base of the fire.
- S
– Squeeze the Handle: Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing
agent.
- S
– Sweep from Side to Side: Sweep the nozzle across the fire base until
it is out.
Training in these techniques empowers employees to respond
confidently to emergencies, ensuring safety and minimizing damage.
