At People’s Insurance PLC, our commitment to safety goes beyond providing reliable insurance solutions. We believe in building a resilient workforce equipped with essential, real-world skills that can save lives during emergencies. In line with this vision, a comprehensive First Aid Training Programme was conducted at the People’s Insurance Head Office in partnership with the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society – Colombo Branch.
The session was led by Mr. Amarasiri Perera, Senior First Aid Instructor, who delivered an insightful and highly practical training experience for our employees.
Hands-On Training for Real Emergencies
