Electricians have a significant yet extremely dangerous job. In addition to electrocutions, electricians are subjected to other dangers during their work. For instance, falling from high places, head injuries, and other types, fractures, unconsciousness, medical emergencies, etc. Therefore, electricians should be trained and certified as First Aid responders. In the 8-hour First Aid Course for Electricians, trainees will learn about various emergencies. The course will emphasize the contents relevant to them. Trainees will also practice subjects such as CPR, dressing, splitting, etc. When necessary, they will be able to identify the injury and provide an initial medical treatment that can save lives. Trainees who met the course requirements will be awarded a First Aid Certificate at the end of the course.
