At Anzen Safety & Training, we deliver nationally recognised first aid training that equips participants with the skills, knowledge and confidence to provide life-saving support in the event of an asthma or anaphylaxis emergency.

The Asthma and Anaphylaxis Combined First Aid Course provides practical, hands-on learning for anyone who may need to respond to sudden illness or allergic reaction in a community or workplace setting. Participants will learn to recognise symptoms, provide immediate first aid treatment and administer medication safely, such as using adrenaline autoinjectors and asthma relievers, until medical assistance arrives.

Completing this course enables participants to develop and implement risk management and minimisation strategies for individuals diagnosed at risk of asthma or anaphylaxis in the workplace. Training also covers the creation of individual management plans, pre-emergency assessments and maintaining compliance with current health and safety requirements.
