Course Overview

This program is specifically planned for all OSH practitioners and Professionals, who are currently practicing in the industry, to understand the DOSH guidelines and to implement it as is practicable according to the legal provision.

Retraining is needed due to the fact that the ordinary first aid training (usually takes 2 – 3 days) does not guarantee participant’s future performance, because skills competency deteriorates rapidly when they are not used or practiced.

This retraining is aimed to assist current first aiders in reviewing their skills and knowledge, but it does not take place as formal refresher training, which should be conducted by ASEC every two (2) years for re-certification.
