Emergency Response Officer (Refresh)

The practical part of the course is an essential step in your learning process, enabling you to put all the theory you have learnt into practice. During the practical course, the ER instructor will help you learn all the skills that you will need to demonstrate that you’ve achieved the required learning objectives.

The ER course consists of four components:

• Firefighting

  You’ll learn which fires you can extinguish, and how to do so. Naturally, the course also covers the risks of extinguishing a fire. After all, your own safety always comes first.

• Evacuation

  In the event of an evacuation, there should always be a general evacuation procedure describing what the emergency response officer needs to do in the event of an evacuation.

• Non-emergency first aid

  The assessment and treatment of non-life-threatening conditions such as wounds, eye injuries, bruises/bruising, sprains, fractures or burns.

• Emergency first aid

  This item covers cardiopulmonary resuscitation using the Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This component also discusses what to do in the event of choking, shock, angina pectoris, heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, diabetes and brain damage.
