NRC - Mass Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillator (CPR+AED) Training

NRC, which was set up by the Ministry of Health in 1998 and placed under the administrative charge of National Heart Centre, collaborated with Nexus for TD 2012 to bring the message of creating a "heart-safe" community to more Singaporeans. In line with the Civil Defence aspect of TD, NRC organised a 3-hour mass CPR+AED training workshop on TD Day (i.e., 15 Feb 12) for students and staff at ITE College West (100 pax), Raffles Institution (270 pax) and Singapore Polytechnic (400 pax) to learn life-saving skills. The workshop incorporated hands-on elements like interactive training, case scenarios and individual practice, and ended with a short theory test (10 x MCQ questions) and a practical skills test. Successful candidates were certified as providers of these skills for two years.

Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF)

In line with the campaign objective of inspiring Singaporeans to take up the duty of keeping Singapore safe, SCDF engaged students and guests at the TD Day event held at four locations (i.e., ITE College West, Raffles Institution, Singapore Polytechnic and Tampines Junior College) through exhibits and displays on fire-fighting, hazmat, as well as chemical agent equipment and suits. Students and guests also had the opportunity to try out the different types of suits.

Singapore Police Force (SPF)

To raise Singaporeans' awareness of their role in civil defence, SPF showcased their crime prevention efforts at the TD Day event held at the four locations. Students and guests also learnt about SPF's equipment through interactive games.
