Four members of the Defence Guard Service (DGS) recently took part in First Aid Training in  the HM Customs Training Wing. 

A statement from British Forces Gibraltar follows below:

The First Aid at Work training course, which conforms with Health and Safety Executive guidance, provides a comprehensive set of practical skills needed by first aiders in most  workplaces, giving both the ability and knowledge to deal with first aid emergencies. It meets  the standards required to help comply with Health and Safety (First aid) regulations. 

DGS Senior Security Officer, Diandra Desoisa, said: “It is vital for Defence Guard Service  officers to have this level of first aid training as they are the first point of contact with the  public in most of MoD Gibraltar Sites.  

This training will provide officers with the skills required in order to be able to assist the  public, especially in key areas such as along Winston Churchill Avenue which is one of the  main roads in Gibraltar.”
