Practical In-House BOFA and Public First Aid Training Across Johor
Workplace accidents and medical emergencies can happen at any time. Severe bleeding, chemical exposure, burns, choking, electric shock and sudden cardiac arrest require immediate and appropriate action.
This is particularly important for factories, construction projects, warehouses, plantations, hotels, port operations and industrial sites where professional medical assistance may take time to reach the casualty.
ETAS Excellent provides practical Basic Occupational First Aid, CPR and Automated External Defibrillator Training throughout Johor.

- Scheduled public training classes
- English, Bahasa Malaysia or bilingual delivery
