Resources

Welcome to our Resources page!

Here, you’ll find a free, downloadable comprehensive first aid manual and a range of infographics designed to enhance learning and improve safety. These resources, covering first aid and mental health topics, are valuable for workplaces, community groups, or personal use. For additional support, we’ve also linked to first aid apps that can assist in emergencies, ensuring you and your team have access to essential information when needed most.

First aid resources and apps are great tools, but they can’t replace the practical experience and confidence you gain from completing a first aid course.

At Safe Hands SA, we recommend using these resources alongside hands-on training to ensure you feel empowered and ready to respond effectively in real-life first aid situations.
