Die mini-krieketseisoen is in volle swang, en saam met die sonskyn kom spanpret, harde houe en soms onverwagte beserings.
Ons bied noodhulpbystand tydens sportbyeenkomste, sodat hulp op die veld beskikbaar is wanneer sekondes tel. Van verstuite enkels tot skaaf- en snywonde, onmiddellike hulp verseker gemoedsrus vir ouers en afrigters.
First aid preparedness does not have to be complicated.
Our first aid kits are designed with families, schools, workplaces, and hobbies in mind. They are compact, compliant, and easy to carry wherever life takes you.
Inside, you’ll find the essentials: gloves, antiseptic, burn dressings, plasters, and a CPR mouthpiece. Everything you need to act quickly and confidently when accidents happen.
Aanlyn noodhulpopleiding. Prakties, bekostigbaar en geskik vir besige skole.
Teorie aanlyn op jou eie tyd. Een dag praktiese opleiding in persoon. Dis hoe maklik dit is om jou skoolgemeenskap lewensreddend vaardig te maak.
Wanneer onderwysers en administratiewe personeel weet wat om te doen in ’n noodgeval, kan ’n klein besering vinnig hanteer word, en ’n ernstige situasie met kalmte bestuur word.
Disability Rights Awareness Month reminds us that not all challenges are visible, and not every emergency presents the same appearance.
Some people rely on wheelchairs or prosthetics, while others live with limited strength, balance, or coordination. In an emergency, these differences can make ordinary moments more complex, and that’s where compassion and awareness matter most.
Knowing first aid helps us respond safely, protect dignity, and offer real help when it’s needed most. This month, let’s look closer, listen with empathy, and care with understanding.

Every second counts. Every life matters.
As the summer holidays draw near, our pools, beaches, and dams become places of laughter, relaxation, and sometimes, unexpected danger.
Dr Neville Vlok, in a recent video shared by CrisisOnCall, reminds us that knowing CPR can mean the difference between tragedy and survival.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or simply someone who cares, learn the skill that saves lives. Because when it matters most, knowledge becomes action.
Vanjaar vier die Suid-Afrikaanse Noodhulpliga ’n geskiedenis wat oor geslagte heen lewens geraak het.
Ter viering van hierdie merkwaardige mylpaal, én Afrikaans se honderdjarige reis, stel ons met trots die nuwe Wees Paraat-handleiding bekend.
Meer as net ’n boek. Dis ’n nalatenskap van kennis, ervaring en menslikheid. ’n Praktiese gids wat ouers, onderwysers en gemeenskapsleiers toerus met die vaardighede wat regtig saak maak wanneer elke sekonde tel.
A splash of cleaning fluid, a rugby tackle, a flying piece of dust. But do you know what to do if someone injures their eye? Acting quickly (and correctly) can protect sight until help arrives.
Sport is deel van elke Suid-Afrikaner se lewe, en ongelukkig is beserings deel van sport.
Ons help skole en organisasies om betroubare noodhulpbystand by sportgeleenthede beskikbaar te hê, sodat die veiligheid van kinders en spelers altyd eerste kom.
Do you know what to do during a medical emergency?
When an emergency strikes, most people freeze. Not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know what to do.
First aid training transforms that fear into confidence. You’ll know how to recognise a heart attack, assist a choking child, or perform CPR when someone collapses.
On National Emergency Medical Services Day, we extend our gratitude to the paramedics and emergency workers who put their lives on the line to save ours.
And remember, when communities know first aid, they give EMS teams a stronger chance to succeed. Together, we keep South Africa safer.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Noodhulpliga vier vanjaar ’n merkwaardige mylpaal: 90 jaar van diens en toewyding.
Om dié besondere geleentheid én Afrikaans100 te vier, stel ons met trots die splinternuwe Wees Paraat-handleiding bekend.
Dié gids is nie net ’n praktiese naslaanwerk nie, maar ’n waardige versameling van kennis en ervaring wat oor nege dekades opgebou is. Dit is ’n nalatenskap wat ouers, skole en gemeenskapsleiers toerus met noodsaaklike, lewensreddende vaardighede.
A scraped knee on the playground. A nosebleed in the classroom. A sudden allergic reaction at lunch.
These are the moments where a simple first aid kit makes a world of difference.
This School Health Week, let’s make sure our learners are safe, supported, and cared for. Every school deserves to be prepared: https://www.firstaidleague.co.za/products.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Noodhulpliga / The South-African First Aid League
The South-African First Aid League (SAFAL) was founded in April 1935 with the prime purpose of providing first aid training to the community at large specifically in their mother tongue. This mission was extended to include provision of first aid assistance at sport and other community activities.
The operation of the organisation is based on a constitution making provision from an executive committee, senior management, regional management, branch management and members.
This National organization has a countrywide infrastructure that is controlled from its head office in Randburg. Administrative control is exercised by the Executive Director who reports to an Executive Committee which is elected every two years by representatives of the members who come from all walks of life and all different race groups.
SAFAL is registered with the Department of Labour and is also fully accredited with the Health and Welfare Seta as a service provider for first aid.
We are also affiliated to the Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa.
SAFAL is very meticulous to comply with the minimum requirements as laid down because it forms the cornerstone of quality training

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Noodhulpliga (SAFAL) is in April 1935 gestig met die hoofdoel om noodhulpopleiding aan die gemeenskap van Suid-Afrika in hul moedertaal beskikbaar te stel. Hierdie missie is later uitgebrei om voorsiening van noodhulpbystand by sport en ander gemeenskapsaktiwiteite in te sluit.
Die werking van die organisasie is gebaseer op ‘n grondwet wat voorsiening maak vir ’n uitvoerende komitee, hoofbestuur, streekbestuur, takbestuur en lede.
Die Nasionale organisasie het ʼn landswye infrastruktuur wat deur die hoofkantoor in Randburg bedryf word. Administratiewe beheer word deur die Uitvoerende Direkteur uitgeoefen wie aan ʼn uitvoerende komitee, wat twee-jaarliks deur lede van die organisasie verkies word, verslag doen. Lede van die organisasie kom uit verskeie agtergronde en kulture.
SAFAL is by die Departement van Mannekrag geregistreer en is ook ten volle geakkrediteer by die Health and Welfare Seta as ʼn voorsiener van noodhulpopleiding..
Ons ook by die Resussitasieraad van Suider-Afrika.
Die minimum opleidingsvereistes wat deur die gesagliggame gestel is, is die boustene van kwaliteit noodhulpopleiding. Daarom verseker SAFAL dat fasiliteerders en assessors selfs die fynste regulasies en vereistes nakom.
