Why First Aid Training is Essential for Security Guards

Security guards are often the first responders in emergencies, making first aid training a critical requirement for the job. Whether working in malls, office buildings, or events, security professionals must be equipped to provide immediate care until paramedics arrive.

​

First Aid Requirements for Security Guards

To qualify for many security roles, guards must complete an Emergency First Aid CPR Level C with AED course, which covers:

✔ CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)
✔ AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Use
✔ Basic Life-Saving Techniques

This training is crucial for responding to medical emergencies such as cardiac arrests, injuries, or choking incidents in high-traffic areas.
