Maderia Situation Report Wednesday 13th September 2023
Forty-four Madeira Port Authority workers have certified training in the use of defibrillators
A total of 44 APRAM (Madeira Port Authority) workers are now certified in the use of defibrillators, after 23 workers were certified this week. This means they are capable of providing first-aid and saving the lives of people who suffered a cardiac arrest. This skill is particularly important because an average of 800,000 people (passengers and crew) use the Port of Madeira.
The workers had received training from the Funchal Fire Service. Further training will be provided to Madeira Port Authority workers.
There are also plans to add more defibrillators to the Port’s facilities such as the North Terminal, dock number 6, Centro Náutico de São Lázaro (CNSL), and Cais de Recreio do Porto do Funchal (CRPF).
