What's In It For Me
Workplace emergencies can occur at any time, and a prompt, effective response can save lives and prevent further injury. The Occupational First Aid (OFA) Course equips participants with the essential knowledge and practical skills to manage medical and injury emergencies in the workplace.
This course is conducted in accordance with the Workplace Safety and Health (First Aid) Regulations under the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and endorsed by the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC).
