Readiness to provide initial assistance is an important part of workplace emergency preparedness. This first aid training was designed for senior administrative officers and administrative officers to develop their knowledge of responding to common health emergencies. The programme introduced appropriate initial assistance, ways to help preserve life, and measures to minimise the effects of injury while awaiting medical help. It also familiarised staff with the contents of a first aid box. The training aimed to build confidence in recognising situations that require assistance and responding within the scope of their training, supporting a safer university environment.
