The NOGEPA 2.2A Offshore First Aid course is specifically designed for individuals responsible for providing first aid on offshore platforms or mining installations. This essential training equips participants to effectively respond to accidents and acute medical emergencies in challenging offshore environments. The course focuses on delivering practical skills and knowledge necessary for rendering first aid to victims of accidents or those suffering from sudden illness, ensuring a rapid and competent response when every second counts.
Throughout the NOGEPA 2.2A Offshore First Aid course, delegates learn to administer first aid and receive comprehensive training in accompanying sick or injured persons during transport to shore. The program also covers the management of offshore first aid equipment, coordination and assistance in multi-victim scenarios, and effective communication with medical professionals onshore. Participants are trained to perform first aid procedures under the guidance of a back-up doctor via radio or other communication channels. This course is intended for those who do not currently possess a valid NOGEPA 2.2 (A or B) certificate and serves as a foundational qualification for offshore first aid responsibilities.
To attend the training, participants must bring a valid government-issued photographic identification and, if available, a personal safety logbook. The course content is tailored to the unique demands of offshore environments, ensuring that all delegates are prepared to manage medical incidents with confidence and professionalism.
