A training session for the staff of the Aviation Authority on the set of first-aid measures to apply on a victim in case of serious events, danger, or accident within the company before calling for the medical corps or other specialized assistance began on 21 November 2022.


Indeed, during this training in "first aid at work (SST)" which ends on 24 November 2022, it is a question of presenting the sequence of the various actions to be implemented in the face of a situation that could endanger people (case of accident, discomfort, injury, burns, etc.).
To help a victim of an accident, the first aider analyzes the situation before reaching out to the victim. He or she then protects himself or herself, witnesses, and the victim in case of particular risks. He examines the victim to collect information on his condition, and any vital emergency- key signs, before taking any action). Then, the aider alerts the organized rescue services by providing the necessary information on the victim for effective intervention.
All these immediate measures should be applied in three (3à) to save the life of a victim while awaiting the arrival of the experts.


This First Aid at Work training held at the CCAA Training School, will enable staff to become familiar with accident prevention and therefore intervene quickly and effectively in first aid situations at work or in their homes.
Several practical cases were presented, such as victims who are bleeding, choking, complaining of discomfort or burns, victims who are breathing, and those who are not breathing, etc. And in each case, the participants were given the appropriate rescue methods.
The training was conducted by experts from an organization that is an official distributor of cardiac defibrillators in Cameroon. The staff was also taught how to use the automated external defibrillator (AED).
It should be noted that this training is in line with the obligation for all companies to have an occupational first-aid worker (SST) for each group of 20 people.
