Occupational First Aid (OFA)

The Occupational First Aid (OFA) course is a comprehensive 3-day training program designed to equip personnel working in industrial, offshore, construction, manufacturing, logistics, and high-risk workplace environments with the knowledge and practical skills required to respond effectively to workplace medical emergencies and injuries. The course focuses on immediate casualty care, incident response, and stabilization techniques until professional medical assistance becomes available.

Participants will learn how to assess emergency situations, ensure scene safety, and provide prompt first aid treatment for a wide range of occupational injuries and illnesses. The training includes practical instruction in CPR, recovery position, choking management, severe bleeding control, wound care, burns, fractures, spinal injury precautions, shock management, and casualty handling techniques. Special emphasis is placed on industrial hazards such as chemical exposure, electrical injuries, crush injuries, confined space incidents, heat stress, dehydration, and trauma resulting from workplace accidents.

The course also covers the use of first aid equipment, safe casualty transportation methods, communication during emergencies, and coordination with emergency response teams. Hands-on practical sessions, demonstrations, mock drills, and scenario-based exercises are conducted throughout the program to develop participant confidence and emergency response capability.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to provide effective first aid assistance, minimize injury severity, support workplace safety compliance, and contribute to a safer working environment until advanced medical care is available.
