FIRST AID

FIRST AID

Ships can be hazardous places and are seldom close to professional medical facilities. So the ability of a seafarer to deliver effective first aid could mean the difference between life and death for a fellow crew member or a passenger. This training package comprises 2 video programmes and a supporting booklet which expands on the points made in the videos. The videos are modular and should be looked at one section at a time. Effective use of this training material will help you to deliver basic first aid to casualties on board.

In all cases involving accidents or injury it is important that the first aider starts by checking that neither they nor the casualty are in further danger.
