Facility managers, floor wardens and reception teams on IT campuses
A campus may have thousands of people but only a handful of staff on a floor at night. They reach a collapsed colleague before the clinic does.

Hyderabad's three kinds of workplace where help is a colleague away
Start with the towers. HITEC City covers roughly 200 acres across Madhapur, Gachibowli, Kondapur and Miyapur, and its campuses are very large: one technology company's campus there is listed as housing over 15,000 employees on about 9.5 acres. Telangana reported about 9.46 lakh IT professionals for 2023-24. At those densities, a faint, a seizure, a chest-pain call or a fall on a staircase is a question of when, not whether, somewhere in the district. Facility managers, security desks, cafeteria supervisors and transport coordinators are the staff who reach the person first, and none of them is trained by the job description.
Second, the plants. Jeedimetla, in the north of Secunderabad, is an industrial area with machine tools, pharmaceuticals, electrical goods, textiles and chemicals, and it includes drug formulation and bulk-drug manufacturing. Pharma plants carry cuts, burns, chemical splashes, slips on wet floors and strain injuries. Plants have their own medical rooms, but the minutes between the incident and a nurse reaching the spot belong to a supervisor or a co-worker.
Third, the sites and venues. The Hyderabad Metro, which opened in November 2017, runs about 67 km and carried roughly half a million passengers a day in 2023. Its Phase 2 proposals, 76.2 km and 86 km, have been approved by the state and sent to the Centre, so civil works and the people who supervise them will matter here for years. Event venues add another crowd: the HICC convention centre seats 5,000 and the HITEX exhibition centre sits on about 40 hectares. Contractors, venue managers and event stewards need staff who can start CPR before an ambulance finds the right gate.
On the law, we are careful. We could not find a readable Telangana rule that lists recognised first-aid certificates, so we do not say what the state accepts for a factory's named first-aider. Where your company has to nominate one under the factory law or the new labour code, ask the Telangana factories department which certificates it recognises. Our course is an iMost certificate and is not offered as meeting any statutory nomination. It is for everybody else who should be able to act.
HITEC City
About 81 hectares (200 acres) of IT campuses across Madhapur, Gachibowli, Kondapur and Miyapur, inaugurated in November 1998.
Jeedimetla Industrial Area
North Secunderabad; machine tools, pharmaceuticals, electrical goods, textiles and chemicals, roughly 12 km from the city centre.
Hyderabad Metro
Opened 29 November 2017; three lines, about 67 km, around 536,000 daily riders in July 2023. Phase 2 proposals await central approval.
HICC and HITEX
A 5,000-seat convention centre and an exhibition ground of about 40 hectares, both in the HITEC City belt.
Hyderabad roles that should hold a first aid certificate
Security guards and gate teams
They are on duty round the clock, on every entrance, and are often the first to see a visitor or driver in trouble.
Employee transport coordinators and cab fleet supervisors
Staff cabs run at all hours across the city. A supervisor with first aid training can talk a driver or passenger through a medical event until help arrives.
Shift supervisors and EHS officers in pharma and manufacturing units
Burns, cuts, eye injuries and spills are everyday risks, and the plant's medical room may be at the far end of the site.
Site supervisors on metro and building projects
Gangs of contract labour work at height and near machinery, often far from a clinic.
Venue and event staff at exhibition and convention centres
Crowd events bring heat illness, faints and chest pain, and stewards are standing next to the person.
First aid alone, or combined with another half-day course
Basic First Aid is a general course: the best-known first-aid skills, in half a day. It does not make anyone a nurse, replace a plant's medical officer or cover decontamination of a specific chemical, which belongs in your safety data sheets and emergency plan. Because Hyderabad to Kochi is a flight, the economical choice is often to pair it with a second short course on consecutive days, so one trip produces two certificates. A pharma unit might add hazardous materials handling, an IT campus might add fire warden training, and a site team might add incident investigation for supervisors.
Fire Warden Training →
Campus and venue teams who also run floor evacuations and headcounts.
Hazardous Materials HAZMAT Training →
Pharma and chemical units where the first question is what the substance is and how to contain it.
Tropical Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (T-BOSIET) →
Individuals who want an offshore career. First aid is only a small part of that three-day OPITO induction.
The seven modules, tied to Hyderabad work
Our outline lists seven topics, delivered through classroom teaching, demonstrations, case studies and scenario practice. You are assessed by a written test, a demonstration and oral questioning.
- 01
Introduction to first aid
What first aid is for, what it is not, the legal considerations and the aims of the day, so that a campus guard knows when to start and when to stand back for the ambulance.
- 02
Basic life support: CPR, AED use and the recovery position
The module that matters most on IT campuses with defibrillators on the walls. People practise on manikins until the sequence is steady.
- 03
Common injuries: wounds, burns, fractures and sprains
The injuries that pharma floors, workshops and building sites actually produce, and how to control bleeding and cool a burn.
- 04
Medical emergencies: choking, heart attack, stroke and seizure
The collapses that happen at desks, canteens and exhibition halls. Recognising the signs early shortens the time to hospital.
- 05
Environmental emergencies: heat illness and poisoning
Hyderabad summers are hard on gangs working outdoors, so heat illness is the relevant topic. Hypothermia and frostbite are listed in the outline but matter little here.
- 06
Special considerations: children, the elderly and mental health crises
Relevant for visitors to venues, older relatives of staff on campus and colleagues in distress at work.
- 07
Practical scenarios
Role-play and hands-on practice, where a team can rehearse its own call-out procedure.
For Hyderabad HSE, HR and facilities teams
Buyers here are mostly facility management companies, pharma and manufacturing EHS teams, and contractors with large site workforces. Most want one certificate for many people and a record that shows who is covered on which shift.
Standards that shape training in Telangana
Factory law and the labour codeFactories law has long required first-aid arrangements and a trained person in charge. The central labour code of 2020 was brought into force on 21 November 2025 and the state rules that go with it were still being framed when we wrote this, so check what Telangana asks today.
Client and parent-company EHS standardsLarge IT tenants and pharma customers often set their own first-aid and emergency-response expectations for facility vendors. Your contract decides.
Site emergency plansYour own plan decides who is named as first-aider on each shift. Training more people than the minimum covers leave and absences.
What employers commonly ask for
| Course | Requirement note |
|---|---|
| Basic First Aid Training | Often asked of facility, security and supervisory staff by clients and in site induction. The certificate is issued by iMost; confirm with your client that it is accepted. |
| Fire Warden Training | Pairs naturally with first aid for evacuation teams on campuses and venues. |
| Hazardous Materials HAZMAT Training | For pharma and chemical units, where substance knowledge comes before casualty care. |
Planning a group booking
- Set up the account at portal.imostacademy.in/register. Once approved you get named logins for the team, contract pricing, group booking, statements and a tracker for the whole roster.
- Invoices to Indian entities include GST. Attach a purchase order if your process needs one; credit terms are discussed once a credit assessment is done.
- Because there is no published expiry, set your own refresher interval in the portal tracker and record it in the site emergency plan.
- For a big roster, send names in lots, so that cover on each shift stays intact while people travel.
Operators and clients set their own requirements; confirm with your contract or HSE department.
Hyderabad to Njarakkal for a half-day course
There is a nonstop flight from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport to Cochin, about 1 hour 40 minutes. The campus is on Vypin island, about 40 km from the airport by road, and about 15 km from Ernakulam Junction.
HYD to COK, nonstop
Flightsfrom lists nonstop services on this route. Choose a morning arrival so you reach the campus the same day, and check the airline for current times.
Cochin airport to Njarakkal
Allow about an hour by cab. The route crosses the Goshree bridges to Vypin island.
Train to Ernakulam
Roughly a day each way. For a half-day course this only makes sense if you are carrying a larger group on a budget.
A two-day trip that produces two certificates
- 1
Decide who really needs it
List the people on each shift who would be the first helper. Send those whose absence would leave a floor or a gang uncovered, in lots.
- 2
Choose the pairing
Pick a second short course so the trip is worth the airfare. Ask our team which half-day sessions fall on consecutive days.
- 3
Book through our team
Contact us on +91 8075 787307 (WhatsApp) or info@imostacademy.in and ask for the dates currently open.
- 4
Travel the evening before
Fly HYD to COK and stay near Vypin. First aid practice is physical, so avoid arriving from a night train.
- 5
Take the course and record the certificates
Wear comfortable clothes, carry photo ID, and tell the instructor about any condition or medication. Log each certificate and set your own review date.
