Because life is precious and because every employer is responsible for the safety of its employees. Therefore, any company, regardless of sector of activity, has a duty to put in place a suitable emergency system. But we don’t improvise as first aiders. So, bad gestures or too long a reaction time can have disastrous consequences. Knowledge and techniques must therefore be acquired upstream. This is why OHS training was put in place.

Par ailleurs, ce n’est un secret pour personne : les accidents du travail coûtent cher aux entreprises (cotisations auprès de l’assurance maladie, embauche d’un intérimaire ou remplaçant, formation de ce dernier, diminution de la production en attendant le retour du salarié blessé, etc.). Il est donc judicieux de la part des entreprises de former plusieurs personnes au sauvetage et secourisme du travail. Ces personnes ainsi formées participent pleinement et activement à la prévention des risques au sein de l’entreprise. Ils peuvent sauver des vies ! Donc, qu’il s’agisse d’un point de vue managérial, de santé ou de sécurité des collaborateurs, la formation de vos employés au SST est bénéfique et nécessaire.

The objective of the training First aid at work is to be able to quickly provide assistance to any victim of a work-related accident or illness and to prevent the risk of accidents in the company.

As you can see, this training is very useful both professionally and personally. A trained person who knows how to identify the dangers around them will reduce the risk of accidents in their home and will be much more reactive in case of an emergency. They will have the skills to protect themselves, others, and alert emergency services while assisting someone on the street, at work, or in the family.

This certification training is carried out over 2 days, renewable every 2 years in order to maintain and update the acquired skills. At the end of the training, the first aider is able to identify potential risks in the environment and to intervene effectively in case of an accident. Future first aiders also become familiar with the use of sensitive equipment such as the defibrillator and the fire extinguisher. Because they are trained effectively, they know how to remain calm in emergency situations, learn how to alert the appropriate services, examine the victim, provide first aid (cardiac massage, lateral position of safety, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) while waiting for the arrival of organized help and protect the accident site.

• Vous l’aurez donc compris, tout salarié peut donc devenir sauveteur secouriste du travail, sans prérequis particulier. Cette formation est ainsi  sanctionnée par un certificat d’habilitation professionnelle délivrée par l’organisme de formation compétent. La formation est dispensée par des professionnels ayant une expérience dans le domaine de la sécurité. Elle est généralement réalisée en petit groupe de 4 à 10 personnes pour faciliter la mise en pratique des exercices de sécurité. La communication entre l’intervenant et les apprenants en est aussi facilitée.
