First Aid Competitions

A good way of keeping your first aiders’ skills up to the mark is to enter a team for the National First Aid Competitions run by PSS. The competition is the only national first aid event designed solely for those working in the ports and port related industries. First aid competitions are recognised as a good way of extending first aiders’ training; preparing for the competition can in itself greatly improve first aiders’ knowledge, efficiency and confidence in their abilities.
