Ali Bin Ali’s QHSE Department recently completed comprehensive first aid trainings on, “Highfield Level 3 International Award in Emergency First Aid at Work and the Use of an AED.” The trainings, held throughout September 2024 in the Holding’s training room, saw participation from 51 employees across various divisions, all eager to enhance their first aid skills for both workplace and personal safety.
The trainings aimed to improve employees’ knowledge and preparedness to effectively respond to emergencies. Participants focused on several topics related to first response to injuries and accidents, including: the importance of first aid in the workplace, the responsibilities of the first aider, and how to conduct incident assessments such as primary and secondary scene surveys. Effective communication during emergencies was also emphasized.
The trainings similarly covered essential principles of resuscitation, an overview of the respiratory system, and techniques for CPR, including adult basic life support. Employees learned to recognize and respond to choking incidents, identify types of bleeding, manage wounds, and address embedded objects. Additionally, they were educated on managing shock and seizures, as well as treating minor injuries such as cuts, grazes, burns, and foreign objects.
The benefits of the trainings for Ali Bin Ali Holding are significant. By equipping employees with essential first aid skills, the Holding not only enhances workplace safety but also empowers its staff to act confidently in emergencies. This preparedness minimizes the risk of injury and can potentially save lives. A safer workplace leads to higher morale and productivity, as employees feel more secure in their environment.
The QHSE Department is committed to empowering more employees to prioritize safety in the workplace and looks forward to future training initiatives.
