First Aid Training

DCU Health and Safety Office are responsible for ensuring we have a sufficent number of staff training in first aid on our campuses. We regularly organise PHEEC First Aid Responder (FAR) training which is the recognised standard for occupational first aid in workplaces.

The course is a  3-day course and on completion the First Aid Responder will be equipped with the necessary practical skills, knowledge, and confidence to give effective life support, diagnose, and treat injuries or illness, and maintain care and comfort of a patient who has become suddenly ill or injured in the workplace or elsewhere until the arrival of emergency medical services.

Please contact the Health & Safety Office safety@dcu.ie to register your interest in participating in this course.

Course Duration: 3 full days, followed by 2 days of refresher training every 2 years.
