Reinforcing its commitment to a healthy workplace, BRAC Bank recently hosted an awareness training programme focused on life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid techniques for its coworkers.
On October 30, 2024, a total of 50 Dhaka-based officials took part in the training. From now on, they will work as CPR and First Aid Ambassador in their respective office stations. The intensive training will gradually be arranged in offices across the country to create a pool of coworkers who can administer CPR and First Aid.
The training, led by Dr. M. Hasan Andalib, Consultant of Accident & Emergency at Evercare Hospital Dhaka, covered vital areas such as CPR, wound care, and the management of common workplace injuries.
