First Aid and Manual Handling with Michael

First Aid
 
On the first day Michael Casey introduced himself. He talked  about how the first aid course was important. He then showed us videos of people choking and how to help them if they can’t cough it up. He showed us more videos and how to help them as well. Michael then demonstrated how to help people when they are in a situation where they can’t help themselves. After he demonstrated, Michael set us up into groups of 6 and got us to help save the mannequins. Michael showed us more videos after lunch about first aid. At the end of the second day, Michael told us to write our names on a sheet to win a free first aid bag. After the small competition, Michael gave us a book on all that we learned in the two days.
 
 
Manual Handling
 
Michael Casey showed us loads of videos on how to lift boxes properly in a factory. He then demonstrated how to lift them if we were in a factory. Michael then got us to do it one by one. He gave us all a mark on how we were lifting them. After everyone doing that, he showed us how to load a box onto a trolley. Michael got us to do that again one by one
