First Aid Training on the East RandBenoni, Boksburg, Kempton Park and Germiston

Your East Rand first aiders learn on your own premises, whether that is a factory in Benoni, a warehouse in Boksburg or Kempton Park, or an industrial site in Germiston. We bring the manikins and AED trainers to you. Every level, from First Aid Level 1 to First Aid Level 3, is accredited by the Department of Employment and Labour and aligned to the QCTO curriculum. Onsite, Level 1 starts at R730 per person for a group of 20 or more (R950 for 4 to 9), excl. VAT, with travel added by distance. Sending only one or two people? Book them a seat in the Level 1 public class at our Centurion venue, at R1,050 each.

Where on the East Rand We Train

We come to your workplace anywhere on the East Rand, including:

• Benoni and Boksburg
• Kempton Park
• Germiston, Edenvale and Alberton

We have no venue on the East Rand. Your team trains on your own premises, where the first aiders will one day have to act, and nobody has to travel to a class. Request a quote with your address, how many people need training and a preferred date.

First Aid on the East Rand: What Matters Locally

Benoni, Boksburg, Kempton Park and Germiston each had their own council until December 2000. Since then they have been part of the City of Ekurhuleni, together with Alberton, Edenvale, Springs, Brakpan and Nigel. One city department now runs fire fighting, rescue and ambulance services across all of them.

Ekurhuleni puts most of its factories in an industrial triangle between the R21, the R24 and the N12, around OR Tambo, with light and heavy manufacturing side by side. The airport alone moves more than 300 thousand tons of freight a year. On a production line or in a loading bay, your first aider is more likely to face heavy bleeding, a crushed hand, a fracture or a burn than someone fainting at a desk. All of those are on the First Aid Level 1 outline, and First Aid Level 2 adds more for higher-risk sites.

Where fuel, gas or chemicals are involved, Ekurhuleni’s emergency services by-laws say the occupier must report a fire or accident that injures someone to the Chief Fire Officer immediately. Your first aider stays with the patient, so name someone else to make that call.

Injury on duty claims go through the Department of Employment and Labour, which has a labour centre in each of the four towns: Woburn Avenue in Benoni, the Lakeside Building in Boksburg, Voortrekker Street in Kempton Park and President Street in Germiston.

First aid training in Benoni

Benoni has factories, workshops and warehouses in and around Apex, and smaller businesses right across the town. We train your first aiders on your own premises, so they practise CPR and the AED where they may one day need them, and nobody loses a day on the road. First Aid Level 1 costs the same in Benoni as everywhere we train: from R730 per person for groups of 20 or more, excl. VAT, plus travel by distance. For one or two people, the nearest public class is at our Centurion venue.

First aid training in Kempton Park

Kempton Park runs on logistics: the warehouses and freight businesses around OR Tambo, and the industrial parks of Spartan and Isando. Many of these sites work shifts, and a first aider must be readily available during normal working hours, so each shift needs its own cover. Tell us your shift pattern when you ask for a quote and we plan the training around it, at your premises. Level 1 runs over 1 day with self-study, or 2 days with theory in class. Request a quote with your Kempton Park address and the number of people.

First aid training in Boksburg

Boksburg has warehousing, transport and manufacturing around Jet Park and the N12, alongside offices and shops. Which level you need depends on your risks: First Aid Level 1 suits most workplaces, and First Aid Level 2 suits higher-risk sites or specific risks your risk assessment identifies. Both run onsite at your premises, and every level covers CPR and the AED on adult, child and infant manikins. Certificates are signed onsite at the end of the training for every delegate found competent, when we have their ID copy beforehand. Travel to Boksburg is quoted with your training.

First aid training in Germiston

Germiston is one of the East Rand’s oldest industrial towns, with Wadeville, Harmelia and the rail yards among its working areas. Definitive Conferencing in Harmelia is a long-standing DDi client: our team has given them training and annual Health and Safety Audits for years, and they have said so in their own words. Your team trains at your own premises in Germiston, with our manikins and AED trainers, and the course price is the same as everywhere we train. For one or two people, there is a public class at our Centurion venue.

Which First Aid Level?

• First Aid Level 1 (Basic Emergency First Aid Responder): 1 day with self-study, or 2 days with theory in class. Ideal for workplaces and individuals.
• First Aid Level 2 (Intermediate Emergency First Aid Responder): 2 or 3 days onsite, for higher-risk workplaces or specific risks your risk assessment identifies.
• First Aid Level 3 (Advanced Emergency First Aid Responder): 4 or 5 days onsite, or a public class in Centurion over two weekends.

On every level your team practises CPR and the AED on adult, child and infant manikins.

How Many First Aiders Do You Need?

The General Safety Regulations (regulation 3(4)) ask for a trained first aider once a workplace has more than 10 employees: one for every group of up to 50, or up to 100 in shops and offices. DDi recommends at least 2 per site, so cover continues when one is on leave or off shift. The calculator on the First Aid Level 1 page works it out for your headcount.

Your Certificate

This course is accredited by the Department of Employment and Labour and aligned to the QCTO curriculum and on successful completion each delegate receives a Certificate of Compliance which is valid for 3 years. Certificates are signed onsite at the end of the training for every delegate found competent, when we have their ID copy beforehand.

Travel to the East Rand

Onsite training carries a travel charge on top of the course: R550 flat up to 100 km round trip, then R5.50 per km, excl. VAT, the same rule as everywhere we train, and your quote shows the travel for your address.
