Maritime: Basic First Aid Awareness Maritime Industries

This informative training program provides mariners with first aid knowledge and awareness, which are both needed when encountering an accident or other medical emergency. Video for this interactive program was shot on location aboard vessels and emphasizes typical first aid for injuries and illnesses of a workboat environment. This training is perfect for those needing to fulfill their compliance with the American Waterways Operators (AWO), Responsible Carrier Program (RCP), First Aid, and CPR Awareness training requirements. This training is an excellent resource to complement Basic Safety Training and other online osha training. Topics in this course are the same topics found in the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW)'s Basic Safety Training (BST) "Elements of First Aid" required training. The web based safety training course can also be used onboard as a crew refresher or source of first aid information.
