Emergency First Aid At Work - 1 Day Course

This course is suitable for people over 16yrs of age who work in low hazard environments, such as an office or shop or where Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance indicate staff should hold a certificate in emergency first aid.

If your risk assessment identifies a requirement for additional training or you have high risks such as construction or manufacturing, we would recommend the three day course.

Course Structure and Programme

All candidates will receive a training pack, including a host of resources to help them assimilate the knowledge and skills. This includes a course manual, personal resuscitation mask and medical emergencies flow charts to use as an aide-memoire after the course.

Course Overview

This course gives the learners the skills and confidence to respond to a range of accidents and emergencies that could occur in the work place.

In addition, this course covers the use of an automated defibrillator (AED). The course is run in accordance with the HSE regulations 1981. This course gives practical hands on experience using simulated scenario’s and role play and delivers the skills and confidence to manage a situation in real life.  On completion of the course, candidates will receive an Emergency First Aid At Work certificate that is valid for 3 years. However, for best practice and in line with HSE recommendations, we recommend an annual first aid skills update.
