Emergency First Aid

What you need to do

The Health and Safety Executive states that every employer must make appropriate first aid arrangements for the workplace. In doing so you should consider the circumstances of your workplace, workforce and the health and safety risks that may be present. For more information click here.

You should ensure that you have a sufficient number of First Aiders. The number of First Aiders should be proportional to the risk profile of your business.

When planning the number of First Aiders you should also consider periods of absence, remember that your First Aiders may go on holiday, be away from work ill, or be on maternity leave, ensure that you have a sufficient number of First Aid trained personnel to cover this. Additionally you should ensure that you have a sufficient number of First Aiders to cover shift work.

This course is suitable for anyone who requires basic knowledge of Emergency First Aid, no prior knowledge of first aid is required.

Delegates must be at least 16 years of age for certification. If the delegate is under 16 and would like to attend the Emergency First Aid course then a certificate of attendance can be issued.
