First Aid Training

The First Aid Training allows to answer regulatory requirements such as :

• Obligations of the employer - Art. L4121-1 of the Labor Code
• Safety training - Art. L4141-2 of the Labor Code
• Obligations of first aider presence - Art. R4224-15 of the Labor Code
• Need for training and resources - Art. R4224-16 of the Labor Code

The rescuer is the main link in the rescue chain, also called  the victim's chain of survival, because he is the first.

But providing first aid is not just about making gestures, in some cases it is better to know that nothing should be done rather than make a situation worse.

Defining the concept of first aid is very important, it must be understood that each witness to an accident can be decisive for the survival of the victim.

This is why it is essential to be trained in first aid to be able to deal with any accident.

It is a training essentially centered on the practice.

The trainer discusses with the participants, offers accident case studies and introduces them to the different behaviors to be adopted.

When the trainer performs a demonstration of a first aid gesture, the participants are then invited to reproduce in turn in pairs to assimilate the gesture.

Depending on the different programs chosen, the practical workshops can be accompanied by realistic accident simulations so that one or more of the participants are immersed in the role of a rescuer where they will have to intervene as in a real situation.

Cardiac arrest or called cardiorespiratory arrest is a malfunction of the heart. The heart no longer performs its normal function for various reasons.

A victim of cardiac arrest will be recognizable because they are unresponsive and not breathing.

Each year in France between 50,000 and 60,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest.
This is an incredible number when you know that 7 times out of 10 a witness was present.

The estimated survival rate is less than 10% ! This is up to 4 times less than in other countries.

However, the management of a cardiac arrest is done in a simple way without any technical gesture:

• Alert the emergency services ;
• Perform cardiac massage ;
• Use a defibrillator (AED).

To be able to perform these actions, a one-hour training is sufficient.

Stroke is what is often called our disease of the century.

In France, it is the leading cause of death for women.

Officially, 150,000 French people are victims of it each year, an average of 17 strokes every hour !
Among the survivors, 75% of them will have permanent sequelae .

Stroke affects more and more young people, which was not the case in the past, and the signs of onset are far too often ignored by the victim and his entourage due to a lack of information on the topic.

To date, we are sorely lacking in awareness on the subject, which is why we offer you one through first aid training.

In France, we consider that, on average, you need to take first aid training every 2 years to be sufficiently effective if an accident occurs.

You should also know that national and international recommendations change over time. These “regular” training courses allow you to update yourself in accordance with these recommendations.

To test your knowledge, try answering these questions :

• What are the 5 first aid steps  and in what order do they apply ?
• How is the breath of an unconscious adult/child and infant checked ?
• Of the 8 possible scenarios, are you sure of the right actions to take for the 4 life-threatening emergencies ?

If you're  having trouble answering, it may be time for a refresher training, or a refresher through our online training platform.
