SST (OHS) and MAC SST (OHS Refresher) trainings Lyon and Paris

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.

Furthermore, it is no secret: workplace accidents are costly for companies (health insurance contributions, hiring of a temporary worker or replacement, training of the latter, reduction in production while waiting for the return of the injured employee, etc.). It is therefore wise for companies to train several people in workplace rescue and first aid. These trained people participate fully and actively in risk prevention within the company. They can save lives! So, whether from a managerial, health or employee safety point of view, training your employees in OHS is beneficial and necessary.

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.

• As you will have understood, any employee can become a workplace first aid worker, without any particular prerequisites. This training is thus sanctioned by a professional accreditation certificate issued by the competent training organization. The training is provided by professionals with experience in the security field. It is generally carried out in small groups of 4 to 10 people to facilitate the practice of safety exercises. Communication between the speaker and the learners is also facilitated.
