The course is designed to give delegates the necessary competence and confidence to deal with a range of illnesses and injuries in the workplace.

Aim

This course is designed to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety (first aid) Regulations 1981 and other key legislation and UK protocols including company specific policies and procedures.

Learning Outcomes

Delegates will have a greater understanding of the theoretical and practical application of emergency first aid techniques in the workplace to a suitable standard.

Delivery Method

A combination of classroom based activity, syndicate working, presentation/demonstrations, practical application and question and answer paper. A wide range of video and photographic material is used, alongside practical exercises to enhance the learning experience for delegates.

Assessment and Certification

The HSE recommend that all Emergency First Aiders at work attend a 3 hour First Aid Refresher course annually, to ensure that they are up to date with procedures and to reduce the level of “first aid skill fade”.
