⏱️ How to Prepare Your Workplace for a Medical Emergency

Emergencies are unpredictable — that’s their nature. But being prepared can make all the difference. Here’s a practical guide to help you get your workplace ready for the unexpected.

Step 1: Train the Right People

Ensure you have trained first aiders on site — and that their certification is current. We offer workplace first aid training led by experienced healthcare professionals, so your team learns from those who’ve handled real emergencies.

Step 2: Stock and Check First Aid Kits

• Clearly marked and accessible.
• Stocked with in-date, appropriate supplies.
• Checked regularly (assign someone to be responsible).

Step 3: Create a Clear Emergency Plan

Every employee should know:

• Who the first aiders are.
• Where first aid kits and defibrillators are.
• What to do in different types of emergencies (e.g., injury, cardiac arrest, chemical exposure).

Display this information clearly — especially in high-risk areas.

Step 4: Practice

Conduct regular drills for fire, medical, or injury scenarios. Confidence in a crisis comes from practice, not panic.

Step 5: Keep Training Fresh

First aid skills fade. We recommend refreshers every 12 months, even if certification is valid for 3 years.

Being prepared isn’t just policy — it’s protection.

If you’re unsure whether your current setup is sufficient, our team is happy to offer advice or provide on-site training tailored to your needs.
