What is CPR Training?
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is an emergency procedure performed when a person’s heart stops beating. It combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain circulation and oxygen flow to the brain and vital organs.
In cases of cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. Every minute without intervention reduces survival odds by up to 10%, making rapid response critical.
CPR training gives staff the skills and confidence to act correctly in emergencies. By knowing how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator safely, employees contribute directly to workplace safety, creating a prepared environment.

Why CPR and First Aid Training is Important
Medical emergencies can happen anywhere, even in workplaces that seem low-risk. Cardiac arrest and other sudden health incidents can occur unexpectedly, putting employees’ lives in immediate danger.
Quick and effective first aid, including CPR, can stabilize a person and significantly increase their chances of survival before professional help arrives. By providing CPR and first aid training, employers fulfill their responsibility to maintain a safe and prepared workplace, protecting staff and creating a culture of safety.

Course content
The training is divided into several key parts, each designed to give participants the knowledge and skills needed to act confidently in emergency situations. From understanding cardiac arrest and emergency protocols, to hands-on CPR, AED use, and first aid for choking or injuries, the course provides a complete, practical approach to workplace safety.
Recognising Cardiac Arrest
Knowing how to identify cardiac arrest quickly is crucial. Participants learn to recognise the key signs, such as sudden collapse, unresponsiveness, and abnormal or absent breathing.
The course teaches how to check consciousness and breathing safely, and what actions to take in the first critical minutes to maximise the chance of survival, including calling for help and starting CPR immediately.
CPR techniques
Participants learn how to perform chest compressions effectively, ensuring proper depth, rate, and hand placement. Ventilations are taught step by step, showing how to provide rescue breaths safely and efficiently.
The training emphasizes the importance of correct technique and rhythm, as proper execution significantly increases the chances of survival. Employees also practice working together during CPR, coordinating actions in real-time to provide the most effective emergency response.
Using an AED
Participants learn what a defibrillator is and how it can restore a normal heart rhythm during cardiac arrest. The course demonstrates how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) safely in an emergency and explains when to apply it alongside CPR for maximum effectiveness.
Training includes step-by-step guidance, allowing employees to practice using the device confidently and correctly in realistic scenarios.
Basic first aid
The course covers essential first aid skills for common workplace emergencies. Participants learn how to manage bleeding and injuries, as well as what to do if someone becomes unconscious.
Training includes how to place a person in the recovery (stable lateral) position and provides practical guidance on delivering basic first aid effectively until professional help arrives.
Emergency response procedure
Participants learn how to act effectively during medical emergencies, focusing on prioritizing actions that can save lives. The course covers how and when to call emergency services and request an ambulance, ensuring help arrives quickly.
Training also emphasizes clear communication and teamwork in the workplace, so staff can collaborate efficiently and provide a coordinated response in critical situations.
