“…A study investigating this phenomenon found that individuals whose training certificates were periodically renewed demonstrated superior skills and knowledge compared to those who obtained a single first aid certificate (Anderson, Gaetz, and Masse, 2011). Furthermore, the provision of effective first aid requires individuals to undergo professional training, enabling them to respond appropriately in emergency situations (Rotich and Elliott, 2019).…”

Occupational accidents and injuries are a widespread issue in the construction sector, highlighting the crucial importance of employees' knowledge level regarding first aid. This study was designed as a cross-sectional research to determine the level of first aid knowledge among workers in the construction industry. The study was conducted with 145 participants working at a construction site in Istanbul, Turkey. Data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of 38 questions, which assessed the participants' knowledge level of first aid and included socio-demographic characteristics. Percentages, frequencies, means, standard deviations, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney U test were employed for statistical analysis. The study findings indicated that individuals who had previously intervened in a first aid situation, those who received first aid training for a duration of nine hours or more, and individuals possessing a first aid certification exhibited higher levels of knowledge (p < 0.05). The study revealed that workers in the construction sector generally possessed a good level of first aid knowledge. This can be attributed to their frequent exposure to first aid-requiring situations within the construction environment.

“…However, there is still a need to train more people, especially the college-age population [13]. The administration of FA and Basic Life Support (BLS) as soon as possible after an injury may help reduce the rate of morbidity and mortality from schoolrelated industrial injuries [12,14].…”

Background: Mechanical engineering students spend several hours in primitive workshops and laboratories for training as part of their academic curriculum; they are exposed to various types of hazards such as machines, flammable materials, and other dangers. These machines are one of the causes of amputation, crushing, and broken bones among these students. This study aims to explore how training in first aid (FA) and basic life support (BLS) helps mechanical engineering students at Sudan University of Sciences and Technology manage risks in such situations. Methods: The current study had a quasi-experimental design, and 100 students were chosen through stratified systematic random sampling. Data were gathered via questionnaire and observational checklist, whose content validity and reliability were confirmed (r = 0.87 and r = 0.82, respectively). Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 for descriptive and inferential statistics. The program was delivered through a series of 13 lectures conducted over a total of 65 hr. Results: All tests had a maximum mean knowledge score of 50 points. At the pretest, students’ overall knowledge of FA and BLS was low (13.82), however, it improved to 49.87 and 48.77 at posttest one and posttest two, respectively, after the intervention. Statistically significant differences were seen between pre- and posttest one (P = 0.000) and between pre- and post-late (P = 0.000). In the pretest, the total proportion of the students’ practices related to FA and BLS was low (12.87%). However, when the program was implemented, the total percentage of practices increased in posttest one (95.65%) and posttest two (95.21%). This indicates the effectiveness of training programs. Conclusion: Students lacked knowledge and practice in FA and BLS before the intervention. The training helped enhance their skills. FA and BLS programs should be included in university curricula to help students manage risks in workshops and laboratories.
