San Fernando City, La Union- Personnel of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Region- I (DENR- I) and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, Region- I (MGB- I) who are members of the DENR- I Quick Response Team (QRT) undertook the Standard First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS) Training at the 4th Floor of the DENR- I Social Hall on April 11- 12, 2024.
In consonance with the ISO 45001; 2018 Certificate of the Office, the said training was conducted by the La Union Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO) to upskill the DENR- I and MGB-I QRT workforce and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to respond in life- threatening emergencies and to ensure the well- being of individuals in emergency situations. Facilitated by the DENR- I Human Resources and Development Section (HRDS), the two- day training commenced with a short program wherein DENR- I Regional Executive Director Atty. Crizaldy M. Barcelo delivered his inspirational message urging the participants to seriously train and be educated in the series of courses learned and thanked the PDRRMO trainerโ€™s team for granting the request of the agency to conduct the very vital course. The pool of competent PDRRMO trainers include David Ken F. Salamanca, Mark Andrew B. Cabanban, Jay V. Gurion and James Apillanes. Courses which were conducted and lectured during the training include Standard First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS), Splinting, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Demonstration, First Aid, Bandaging Techniques, Splinting and Spine Board Management, and Mini Stations for Medical, Splinting, and Spine Board Management.
Basic Life Support generally refers to the type of care that first responders, health care providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory distress or an obstructed airway. The main purpose of the BLS is to provide immediate life- saving care in situations where breathing or the heartbeat has ceased. It can help people who are choking, drowning, or are suffering from cardiac arrest, and it can make difference between life and death for some people. The first responsders role is very crucial and important for everyone who needs it
Training the DENR- I and MGB- I QRT workforce in BLS is a vital part of any healthcare education curriculum. It is intended to provide government employees the information and abilities essential to respond appropriately and promptly to medical crises at workplace, home and the community.
Due to the extreme heat of todayโ€™s summer season, actual demonstration of the BLS courses were held within the premises of the DENR- I Office Building. Participants of the two- day training also undertook Post Test and Post Evaluation before the rigorous and challenging activity concluded. (GCG- RSCIG)
