First aid or occupational safety won’t save your life

Is it still a hassle for you that you go through every year just for a signature and to meet safety regulations, but it doesn’t really prepare you for a real crisis? It can be done differently. How about using the principles of experiential learning to get the most out of the information? What if we prepared people in our organizations to provide first aid in a way that they can actually handle a crisis situation?
Ondřej Koudela, founder of PrPom, will talk about first aid—and maybe it won’t just be talk ;)
