Why Every Norvic Guard Is Trained to Level 3 First Aid — And Why That Matters
When it comes to security, people often think about visibility, deterrence, and vigilance. But in real-world scenarios, the role of a security guard often goes far beyond simply “watching a door.” Emergencies don’t wait for paramedics. That’s why every Norvic Guard is trained to a minimum of Level 3 First Aid.
We believe that first response capabilities are not just an extra — they’re essential.

Security Isn’t Just About Prevention — It’s About Action
Imagine this: a member of the public collapses near a venue entrance. A client suffers a fall in the workplace. A fight breaks out at an event and someone is seriously injured. In all of these situations, the first person on scene is often not a paramedic — it’s a security guard.
In these critical first minutes, training makes the difference between stabilising a situation or letting it spiral out of control.
That’s where our Level 3 First Aid training comes in.

What Does Level 3 First Aid Cover?
Level 3 First Aid isn’t a tick-box certification. It’s an advanced, regulated qualification that includes:
Primary and secondary assessment
CPR and AED (Defibrillator) use
Major trauma response (including bleeding and shock)
Management of head, spinal, and chest injuries
Administering emergency oxygen
First aid for seizures, asthma, diabetes, and anaphylaxis
This means our guards are equipped to provide critical care until medical professionals arrive. They're not just there to report an incident — they’re trained to respond.

Why We Made It Our Standard
We didn’t choose Level 3 First Aid because we had to. We chose it because we should.
At Norvic Guards, we’re building more than a business — we’re building a reputation for professionalism, preparedness, and care. In high-risk environments, construction sites, public events, or even quiet office receptions, health emergencies can strike without warning. When they do, we want our guards to be ready, not reactive.
That level of readiness saves time. Saves confusion. Sometimes, it can save lives.
