Covid Awareness
Coronavirus belong to a large family of viruses that cause a wide range of illnesses. Generally, they cause a mild illness such as the common cold. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new respiratory illness caused by a new type, or novel, coronavirus previously unseen in humans. The virus is now spreading, which means that appropriate awareness training in the workplace will play an integral role in helping to stop the spread of this coronavirus. Educating employees on the symptoms of the virus, how they can pre-emptively protect themselves and their colleagues, and what measures should be taken if they or a colleague have been exposed, is the first line of defence in fighting coronavirus (COVID-19).
Infection Control & Prevention
Infection control and prevention practices are important in maintaining a safe environment for everyone by reducing the risk of the potential spread of disease. These practices are designed to reduce the risk of hospital-associated infections and to ensure a safe and healthy hospital environment for our patients, healthcare providers and visitors. Infection prevention and control is fundamental in improving the safety and quality of care provided to patients and is everyone's responsibility. It is vital that all staff have the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills in order to continue to improve the overall safety and quality of patient care.
Paediatric CPR AED & First Aid
Unfortunately, children have accidents more often than adults, whether it is falling from a height, choking from the food, getting electrocuted, ingesting poison, bleeding or drowning. In the event of a medical emergency, CPR and First Aid is the initial assistance provided to a child or individual while waiting for the medical professionals to arrive. In the worst situations, First aid, CPR and use of AED can definitely make the difference between life and death. CPR AED and First aid training gives parents’ reassurance that in the case of an emergency they will have the skills to take control of the situation and provide excellent care to the child. These courses are invaluable for everyone that deals with children – teachers, parents, grandparents, family members, babysitters, nannies etc. CPR AED and First aid training is particularly important if someone is working with children that suffer from conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, asthma or have allergies.
Fire Safety Workshop (With Drill)
Learning how to respond to a fire is a large part of fire safety training and is essential in creating a clear understanding of protocol in emergency situations so that employees are sufficiently prepared to fight the fire or get out safely and efficiently. GDGH Fire Safety training trains in using fire fighting equipment like fire extinguishers, how to activate the fire alarm, and how to work as a team, as well as learning what one’s own responsibilities are. However, these are only a few subjects that are covered in GDGH Fire Safety training along with many others.
Fire Safety Training (Without Drill)
The aim of Fire Safety Training is to prevent loss of life and damage to property. Fires often cause disruption of business activities, loss of business documents, loss of employee work hours and liability claims resulting from the spread of fire to adjacent properties. Depending on the construction type or contents of the building and the occupancy type and number of occupants, fire prevention features should provide life-safety and property protection or a combination of both. GDGH Fire Safety training can reduce or eliminate the occurrence of fires by training occupants in fire safety, as well as proper maintenance and care of fire protection and life-safety systems and by controlling potential ignition sources and fuels.
