To contribute to the greater good of society, Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) is equipping more employees across all levels with Basic Life Support (BLS) training, enabling them to act as first responders during cardiac emergencies.
The initiative, supported by UniKL’s Corporate Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) and Security Department in collaboration with the Group Human Capital (GHC) division, reflects UniKL’s deep commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility, beyond immediate safety concerns.
In the second quarter of 2025, the UniKL Chancellery successfully trained and certified 25 more employees through a BLS workshop.
Upon completion, participants received a BLS certificate valid for two years, qualifying them to provide critical assistance in life-threatening situations.
The two-day workshop was conducted by UniKL’s Nursing Programme staff, providing hands-on training in key emergency procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), managing choking incidents, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
At the campus level, UniKL Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology (UniKL MIMET) saw enthusiastic participation, with 40 staff members, including both academic and service personnel as well as students, taking part in the training.
The session was facilitated by medical professionals from KPJ Sri Manjung Specialist Hospital, organised by the Centre for Women Advancement and Leadership (CWAL) at UniKL MIMET.
By equipping its workforce with these essential life-saving skills, UniKL supports the Social pillar of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework and further demonstrates its commitment to the health, safety, and well-being of its people and the wider community.
This initiative is part of UniKL’s broader vision to build a safer, more resilient, and human-centred university environment that values preparedness and human life above all.
