First Aid Course Busselton Overview

At OHS.com.au, we provide access to a complete range of first aid training, including Provide First Aid, Provide CPR, and Provide First Aid in an Educator or Care Setting. We also offer mental health first aid courses for mental health professionals.

The face-to-face courses provide effective training for people of all skill levels and experience. Learn how to respond to life-threatening emergencies.

HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is a full-day course that covers a wide range of topics. Participants learn how to deliver a first aid response.

Some of the main elements of the course include:

• Recognising and assessing an emergency situation
• Learning procedures for seeking assistance from emergency services
• Performing CPR and administering first aid following established principles
• Using available resources and equipment to make patients comfortable
• Using first aid equipment based on the manufacturer’s instructions
• Monitoring the condition of casualties to deliver appropriate aid

Participants also need to complete assessments. The assessments include performing at least two minutes of CPR on an adult manikin.

You must also demonstrate knowledge of the steps involved in managing different types of casualties, such as:

• Anaphylaxis emergencies
• Asthma emergencies
• Choking
• Nosebleeds
• Minor wounds
• Fractures and dislocations

The assessments also include sections on first aid guidelines, potential incident hazards, infection control procedures, and workplace considerations.

HLTAID009 Provide CPR focuses solely on administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR training is often included with general first aid courses. The procedures are based on recommendations from the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other Australian standards.

Who Needs to Take First Aid Training?

First aid course CPR programs are necessary for certain professions, such as nursing. Educators may also require first aid certificates. Workers in other sectors may also complete CPR and first aid training, as all workplaces need trained first-aiders. The government of Western Australia requires a minimum number of employees to hold first aid certification.

The number of trained first-aiders depends on a variety of factors, including:

• The location of the workplace
• The size and layout of the workplace
• The hazards identified in the workplace
• The number of employees

Employers should create action plans that account for first aid training, equipment, and facilities. No matter the size of your workforce, we can help you find suitable training.

Based on WHS guidelines for first aid training, you should have at least one person trained to administer first aid for every:

• 10 workers in a high-risk, remote workplace
• 25 workers in a high-risk workplace
• 50 workers in a low-risk workplace

First aid training is also open to the public. Many people choose to obtain first aid certification for personal reasons or to prepare for a career that requires life-saving skills, such as jobs in the healthcare field.

Why Should You Take First Aid Training?

You may choose to get a first aid certificate for your business or personal reasons. In either case, completing first aid training prepares you to deal with emergencies. You learn how to administer basic first aid and CPR.

The life-saving knowledge you gain is invaluable. Emergency services cannot always respond quickly. Having an individual trained in proper first aid procedures ensures that assistance is readily available until health professionals arrive.

When Does a First Aid Certificate Expire?

A certificate of first aid does not expire. However, according to the codes of practice for first aid in the workplace, you should complete refresher training every 12 months. Retaking a full face-to-face course is also necessary every three years. If you have already completed face-to-face training, explore our first aid course renewal options.

What Is the Average Duration of a First Aid Course?

A full first aid course in Busselton is typically scheduled for an eight-hour window. During the face-to-face training, students are permitted time for lunch and breaks. A CPR-only course may only take four hours. The duration of the course also varies depending on class size.
