Train in first aid

Revise or learn emergency first-aid skills as a team.

Why this programme

Alongside a certified training course, the programme has people revise life-saving reflexes under gentle pressure: the team must react quickly and in the right order. The scenarios are set in your own workplace.

A member of staff shall receive the first-aid training needed to give first aid in an emergency in each workshop where dangerous work is carried out.

What your teams experience

  1. The alert: put the steps for protecting the scene and raising the alarm back in order.
  2. The right reflex: faced with a situation, choose the appropriate action, against the clock.
  3. The equipment: locate and identify the emergency equipment on your site.
  4. The simulation: an emergency response chain to coordinate across several teams.

Each activity opens and closes with a projected cinematic sequence, personalised for your teams. The facilitator sets the pace: nothing moves forward without them.

What the company gains

Reflexes refreshed as a team, and a shared map of first-aid equipment.

around 40%

Only about 40% of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest get the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives.

Before you book

What is digital team building?

A team building session in which teams play challenges on participants' phones while a big screen shows the running order, the scores and the cinematic sequences. A facilitator runs the room from start to finish. Everything happens in person.

Do we need to install an app?

No. Participants scan a QR code and play in their phone's browser. No account, no password, no installation. It works on iPhone and Android.

Is there a limit on the number of participants?

No. The platform adapts to your headcount, from a small team to the whole company, in one or several rooms.
