A one-day course covering emergency first aid protocols at work.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID AT WORK
First aid training covering emergency protocols at work
Where an organisation’s risk assessment of First Aid needs identifies that there is a requirement for Emergency First Aid at Work practitioners, then this national Award in Emergency First Aid at Work satisfies the requirements of the regulatory body for First Aid – the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
All learners will leave the course with the skills and knowledge to provide the organisation with emergency first aiders that can provide treatment to their casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner.
