Ensure your business is providing adequate and appropriate first aid cover for your employees by enrolling willing staff on this accredited three-day course featuring both practical and written assessments.
Teach your staff to deal with emergency situations with confidence
To meet the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982, employers must provide a safe and healthy environment in which to work. This includes providing the facilities and personnel to ensure employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.
If an assessment of first-aid needs shows that trained first aiders are required at your business, this comprehensive course will cover a range of subjects and culminate in participants being awarded a qualification to the highest standard of first aid.
