Essential First Aid Training for Every Workplace: Physical, Mental and Life-Threatening Emergencies

At MBO Safety Services, we believe that safety is not just a box to tick, it is a culture to build. Whether you are an employer, team leader or employee, having the right first aid knowledge can make the difference between life and death, recovery and trauma, or simply knowing how to help when it matters most. 

We offer three key courses that address the most critical aspects of workplace safety: Emergency First Aid at Work, Mental Health First Aid, and Catastrophic Bleeding Control. Here is why each course matters, who should attend, and what you will learn. 

🩹 Emergency First Aid at Work 

Who should attend: This course is ideal for anyone working in low risk environments such as offices, retail, or small businesses. It is also suitable for nominated first aiders in larger organisations. 

Why it matters: Accidents can happen anywhere—from slips and falls to sudden illnesses. Having someone on-site who knows how to respond quickly and effectively can prevent minor injuries from becoming major incidents. 

What you will learn: 

  • How to assess an emergency situation 
  • CPR and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) 
  • Treatment for wounds, burns, fractures and choking 
  • Managing unconscious casualties 
  • Legal responsibilities and reporting procedures 

🧠 Mental Health First Aid 

Who should attend: Managers, HR professionals, team leaders and anyone who wants to support mental wellbeing in the workplace. 

Why it matters: Mental health challenges are often invisible but deeply impactful. Knowing how to spot the signs and offer appropriate support can foster a healthier, more productive work environment. 

What you will learn: 

  • Recognising signs of anxiety, depression and stress 
  • How to approach and support someone in crisis 
  • Active listening and non-judgmental communication 
  • Signposting to professional help and resources 
  • Building a mentally healthy workplace culture 

🩸 Catastrophic Bleeding Control 

Who should attend: This course is essential for those working in high-risk industries such as construction, agriculture, manufacturing or security. It is also highly recommended for lone workers and remote teams. 

Why it matters: In cases of severe bleeding, every second counts. Immediate and correct intervention can save lives before emergency services arrive. 

What you will learn: 

  • Identifying catastrophic bleeding 
  • Use of hemostatic dressings and tourniquets 
  • Managing trauma and shock 
  • Scene safety and casualty prioritisation 
  • Integration with emergency response protocols
