Safety Training Donders Institute

About this course
At the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour 600 researchers work on various studies. The research often includes working with subjects, who can be different in age and health. As a researcher, it is important to constantly observe the subject and to think ahead, so you can anticipate on unexpected events like fainting or quick breathing (hyperventilation). During the hands-on safety training you will learn to recognize the symptoms and learn which first aid measures you can take.
The training consists of three parts:

• Part 1: Preparation (homework)
• Part 2: Theory (training)
• Part 3: Practice (training)

The combination of those three parts is important for a good learning yield. You will receive a reader to prepare yourself for the training session. The reader will also be helpful as a reference after the training, together with the presentation slides that you will receive afterwards. During the training session we will shortly address the theory, but the main focus will be on the practical exercise, when you practice the first aid skills on a Lotus-victim (a trained actor).
