Realistic and practical training
Not every country can provide medical care in line with that offered in Germany. During an overseas deployment it is the knowledge of first aiders and their ability to improvise that will often decide whether an injured person survives or not. This is where RiskWorkers’ first aid training session for remote regions comes in: it prepares travellers to provide care in emergency situations and in difficult conditions. We adapt our training session to our customers’ unique needs, enabling us to shape it so that it is as realistic and practical as possible. First aiders can only act swiftly and intuitively in an emergency, and take the right steps to save a life, if they are familiar with the situation.
