Introduction
The First Aid During a Pandemic Course equips participants — especially workplace first responders — with essential first aid and emergency response skills adapted for pandemic conditions. Injuries and illnesses still occur during a pandemic, but providing care requires heightened precautions to reduce cross-infection risk.
This course provides clear guidance on safe practices, including the use of PPE, hygiene protocols, and contamination control. Video demonstrations reinforce correct procedures with pandemic-specific precautions, building confidence and clarity when providing first aid to unknown victims. This training is highly recommended for first aiders, caregivers, and front-line staff.
