Health & Safety legislation requires that all employers assess their first aid needs, and have trained first aiders at the workplace where appropriate.
In emergencies, first aiders can act to prevent situations from becoming major incidents and can limit injuries through prompt action.
The one day course covers Health and Safety (first aid) regulation, managing an incident, first aid priorities, treating of an unconscious casualty, Recovery Position, resuscitation (CPR), choking, shock, bleeding and common workplace injuries.
In emergencies, first aiders can act to prevent situations from becoming major incidents, and can limit injuries through prompt action. The course is run at our training centre in Limehouse – or can be run at your workplace.
