PGI Training offers a variety of bespoke Emergency and Trauma Training
Emergency Response and Trauma Training
Exploitation of offshore hydrocarbon resources is
inherently hazardous and requires the application of
significant effort to manage health and safety risks and
achieve appropriate standards of health and safety
performance.
In addition, HSE performance measures are becoming
increasingly stringent and it is up to companies to ensure
that they meet these requirements year on year to
minimise the risks to their employees.
PGI considers the HSE risks and the inevitability of
workplace incidents arising throughout the development
process of our courses. Our aim is to provide the
knowledge, tools, and confidence for those at
operational and managerial levels to positively deal with
such events.
Our suite of training courses and services will provide
you, your teams, and your clients with the confidence
and credentials required to maintain effective business
continuity whilst upholding the highest levels of health
and safety at all times.
We aim to do more than just impart knowledge; PGI
seeks to deliver functional training that takes into
consideration the unique operating procedures your
organisation faces on a daily basis, and then tailor the
syllabus to suit you.
Our Emergency Response Training (ERT) is delivered by a
faculty that boasts a unique combination of medical
professionals which includes Critical Care Practitioners,
UKSF Paramedics, Remote Medics, and First Responders.
Combined, these trainers work together with your teams
to hand-pick the appropriate elements from our range of
existing courses and adapt them accordingly to the
target audience. (See Annex A)
To enhance the in-class theory element of the training, a
kinaesthetic approach is applied, which provides
delegates with the opportunity to put into practice the
new skills learnt. The range of practical scenarios we
provide are designed to correspond with what has been
learnt and provide delegates with the tools, skills, and
confidence to respond effectively in real life situations.
PGI is able to deliver courses at our main centres in
Greater Manchester, Bristol, and Tiverton; however, we
realise that maximum effectiveness occurs at client
locations or in areas nearer to operational hubs and
hence also offer on-site training where applicable.
Introduction

Emergency Response and Trauma Training
The Three Day TFR course has been refined and adapted
following a number of training packages conducted for the
Offshore Hydrocarbon industry. Through this process it has
been identified that encompassing the medical elements of
the HSE offshore first aid course in support of the trauma
syllabus will provide advanced technical medical
capabilities for those who would carry out medical services
as either a primary, or secondary function.
The Trauma First Response is a continuing education course
that teaches the principles of Pre-Hospital Trauma Life
Support (PHTLS) to non-EMS practitioners. The course serves
up the core PHTLS content to those who haven’t had
Emergency Medical Training or advanced Pre-Hospital
training.
The lectures and practical stations are designed to replicate
the type of care first responders are able to apply while
awaiting patient transport or when assisting paramedics and
EMTs at a trauma scene.
Training The course is designed to enable the student to
effectively care for trauma patients when serving as
part of a transport team or awaiting a transport
provider.
The course covers scene assessment, establishing
patient history, and physical examinations to
systematically manage life-threatening situations.
Modules will involve interactive skill stations, real-life
scenarios, lectures, and assessments.
The learning outcomes are mapped against both the
Trauma First Response and HSE offshore First Aid
course and include:
Understanding the role of the first aider
Understanding the importance of preventing
cross infection
The need for recording incidents and actions
and correct use of available equipment
The need for recording incidents and actions
and correct use of available equipment
How to assess the situation and circumstances in
order to act safely, promptly, and effectively in
an emergency
How to administer cardiopulmonary
resuscitation, including the use of automated
external defibrillators, maintenance of manual
resuscitators, manual suction devices, oro and
naso pharyngeal airways and oxygen supplies
How to administer first aid to a casualty who is
bleeding and casualties who are unconscious
How to recognise the presence of major illness
and provide appropriate care to those suffering
heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and
diabetes
How to administer first aid to a casualty who is
suffering from shock, hyper and hypothermia,
effects of immersion, poisons encountered
offshore
How to administer first aid to those with injury
including dressing, immobilisation of injured
parts which include eyes, burns/scalding,
inhalation of hot gasses and smoke
How to recognise minor injuries and illnesses
and take appropriate action

Entonox safely and effectively
How to communicate and delegate promptly and
effectively in an emergency.
The Five Day First Person On Scene/Trauma First
Response package give the employer the opportunity
upscale their emergency response capability by building
on prior training and experience of their personnel. The
five day package allows for the non-medical professional
to conduct their primary role with the ability switch roles
to medical response.
Figure 2 – Differing Medical Conditions Delegates will work in teams to respond to multiple patients with different medical conditions.
The course delivery is divided into both theoretical
and practical sessions, which allows for the student to
develop into a competent First Responder. The key
learning outcomes of this course are as follows:
The Pre-Hospital Environment
Patient Assessment
Management of catastrophic haemorrhage
Airway Management (OPA, NPA, I Gel and BVM)
Suction
Oxygen delivery
Basic Life Support
Respiratory problems (medical and trauma
related problems)

Figure 3 – Realistic Scenarios Delegates will experience medical situations that resemble actual emergencies to ensure an authentic learning environment,
Emergency Response and Trauma Training
Elements of the TFR are incorporated into this syllabus and
the final day culminates in a series of practical scenarios
relevant to the delegates working environment. Scenarios
test all elements of the FPOSI and TFR syllabus and
companies and delegates are encouraged to utilise
equipment and PPE that they would use in their day to
jobs.
Amputee Actors
To support the delivery of the scenario exercises we will
use the excellent services of amputee actors that have lost
limbs as a direct result of a trauma incident, and are able
to draw on their own experiences to further enhance the
scenarios with unique insight and acting in the field,
remaining in character throughout.
Delegates will experience the effects and management of
trauma incidents in the most realistic way possible. The
special effects used enhance the experience, replicating
injuries beyond leg and arm injuries, recreating traumas
like head and facial wounds and eviscerated abdomens
and groin wounds.
Figure 4 – Amputee Actors At PGI Training, we employ amputee actors who are experienced in supporting the delivery of realistic medical trauma scenario training.
Medical Field Guides
PGI have created a 70 page Xerox Nevertear medics
field guide that has become popular across a
number of business sectors. This A6 water proof and
tear proof aide has been adopted by many medics
into their trauma equipment and includes a detailed
but easy to navigate memoir to maintain, refresh,
and utilise on a daily basis. Contents include but are
not limited to:
Initial assessment
Primary survey
Catastrophic haemorrhage
Airway, oxygen and C-spine injury
Breathing and ventilation
Circulation and haemorrhage control
Burns
Disability (head injury)
Environment
Cardiac emergencies
Medical emergencies
Bites and stings
Triage
Prolonged field care
Medications
Handover details
ATMIST reporting
The guide is scrupulous in design but the team are
flexible enough to allow for independent
organisations’ SOPS to be adapted into it, ensuring
that it falls in line with best management practices
and remains relevant to the operator. This will also
be branded accordingly, for example including a
bespoke front page so that it is effectively perceived
as company handbook and thus fully incorporated
into daily use.
