CPR Training

The one practical course that has validity to just about everyone. You do not know when you might need it – at home or at work – but knowing this skill is life-critical. It is also a skill that you need to keep practiced at and therefore is usually done from a work-perspective annually. CPR training is also valid for duty of care and general Work Health and Safety perspectives with many employers proactively providing this training.

Once you complete this training you should have the knowledge and core capability to manage an unconscious, casualty including appropriate positioning to reduce the risk of airway compromise and performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor and repeated for an infant.

Additionally, you should be able to deliver at least one shock with the automated external defibrillator (AED) , demonstrate an ability to rotation of single rescuer operators with minimal interruptions to compressions, know how to respond appropriately in the event of regurgitation or vomiting and handing over to emergency services and associated activities

It is a requirement of the training that CPR for infants / young children be included. The Harness course provides practical instruction using infant manikins as the approach for infants is different compared with adults.
