In a step toward reinforcing workplace safety and preparedness, Aviagen Thailand recently partnered with Bangkok First Aid to conduct an intensive CPR, AED, and First Aid training course for its team. The program, tailored to the needs of Aviagen’s operations in the chicken and food production industry, provided hands-on, practical skills to ensure employees are equipped to handle emergency situations effectively.
The Importance of First Aid in the Food Production Industry
The chicken and food production process involves various risks, including handling sharp tools, exposure to high temperatures, and working in environments where slips, trips, and falls can occur. Additionally, the fast-paced nature of food production can increase stress levels, potentially leading to health emergencies such as cardiac events. Recognizing these risks, Aviagen took proactive steps to enhance their safety measures through comprehensive first aid training.
A Bespoke Training Program for Aviagen
Bangkok First Aid designed a training course specifically suited to the unique requirements of the chicken and food production environment. The program covered:
-
CPR and AED Use: Participants learned how to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to respond to cardiac emergencies, which can occur unexpectedly in high-stress environments.
-
First Aid for Workplace Injuries: Training included managing injuries common to food production settings, such as:
-
Cuts and lacerations from knives and machinery.
-
Burns from hot surfaces or liquids.
-
Slips, trips, and falls in processing areas.
-
Health emergencies related to overexertion or dehydration.
-
-
Emergency Response Preparedness: Employees were trained to assess and prioritize in emergencies, ensuring quick and effective action to protect colleagues and maintain operational continuity.
Engaging, Hands-On Learning
The training emphasized interactive, hands-on practice using realistic scenarios. This approach ensured that participants could confidently apply their skills in real-life situations. Role-playing exercises, team-based problem-solving, and the use of lifelike manikins for CPR practice helped reinforce key techniques.
Feedback from Aviagen Employees
Employees expressed their appreciation for the practical, easy-to-follow nature of the course. One participant noted, “This training has given me the confidence to act decisively in an emergency. I feel more prepared to help my colleagues and contribute to a safer workplace.”
