Elementary First Aid
Elementary First Aid
“A fundamental safety training program designed to equip individuals with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to provide immediate medical assistance in emergencies until professional medical care is available.”
The Elementary First Aid course focuses on developing the confidence and competence needed to respond effectively to common medical emergencies both at sea and ashore. Participants learn how to assess situations quickly, provide initial treatment, and stabilize injured or ill persons while ensuring their own safety and that of others.
The training covers essential first aid techniques such as wound care, bleeding control, treatment of burns, fractures, shock management, and basic life support principles. Emphasis is placed on practical demonstrations and scenario-based learning to prepare trainees for real-life emergency situations.
This course is particularly important for seafarers and maritime personnel, as immediate medical response onboard vessels can be critical due to limited access to professional medical facilities. By completing Elementary First Aid training, individuals enhance onboard safety and contribute to a safer working environment.
