Emergency First Aid at Work
1 day / 6 hours
All workplaces need to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and first-aiders to help if a member of staff has an accident or falls ill at work. It’s the Law. Plus, you also have a duty of care towards all visitors.
-
You’ll learn to deal with life threatening incidents until the emergency services arrive plus a range of minor injuries and common medical conditions. From offices to yoga studios, schools to shops, we understand that each workplace is different. We tailor our courses to ensure that we cover the likely scenarios you’ll face, so you come away with the skills you need.
-
Small to medium low hazard workplaces like offices & shops.
