Basic first aid training
The basic first aid training course is meant for anyone who may be confronted with a workplace situation or incident in which injuries may occur.
Some of the topics covered in this training include:
Providing aid in cases of unconsciousness or shock, resuscitation protocols, patient transport techniques, alerting relevant emergency services, and the use of the safety equipment present on board, with optional training on defibrillator use.
2 days (half-days) or
1 day (3 half-days) including the completion of an e-learning module prior to the on-board training
The basic first aid training course is intended for anyone who may encounter situations in which people are affected by injury or another health emergency.
This training is specifically aimed at those crew members of passenger ships who are charged with performing service tasks on board, including those who come into frequent contact with guests and work in areas where a health emergency could potentially occur.
Participants in this training come from both the hotel staff and the nautical crew of a ship.
The first aid training include both theoretical and practical components.
Topics covered during the training sessions include:
- Recognizing specific health conditions
- Recognizing and treating injuries
- Resuscitation protocols
The theoretical knowledge learned during the training is put into practice on board the ship through simulated drills. We have all the necessary training materials and, in most cases, employ actors to play the parts of victims with whom various emergency scenarios can be practiced.
Successfully completing this training entitles the trainee to a first aid certificate with a valid for at least 1 year.
As prescribed by the Shipping Personnel Regulations (RSP), such certificates are issued in the safety book that is distributed by Op Koers! Maritiem.
Refresher first aid training
All potential first aid providers must participate in a refresher training course before their basic first aid-certificate expires.
During this refresher first aid training, we refresh the participant’s previously acquired knowledge by teaching both the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical actions through a scenario-based program.
After the student successfully conpletes the refresher course, the certificate is renewed for the legally established period.
