1-day Emergecncy First Aid at Work
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is a crucial course that every business should consider for the well-being of their employees and the overall safety of the workplace. Accidents and medical emergencies can happen unexpectedly, and having employees trained in emergency first aid can make a significant difference in minimizing the impact of injuries and potentially saving lives.
During our Emergency First Aid at Work course, participants will gain essential knowledge and practical skills to confidently handle a wide range of emergency situations. From administering CPR and using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to managing bleeding, fractures, and burns, our comprehensive training equips employees with the necessary tools to provide immediate and effective first aid until professional medical help arrives. By investing in this course, businesses demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of their workforce, creating a safer and more prepared environment where employees feel supported and valued.
3-day First Aid at Work
Our comprehensive 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course is specifically designed to provide in-depth training for individuals who are designated as first aiders in their workplace. This course goes beyond the basic skills covered in the Emergency First Aid at Work course and provides participants with a more extensive understanding of first aid techniques and protocols.
During the 3-day First Aid at Work course, participants will acquire a wide range of essential skills, including advanced CPR techniques, managing major illnesses and injuries, recognizing and responding to a variety of medical conditions, and effectively communicating with emergency services. With a focus on hands-on practice and scenario-based training, participants will develop the confidence and competence necessary to handle a broad range of emergency situations in the workplace. This course is particularly beneficial for high-risk work environments or industries that require more in-depth first aid knowledge due to the nature of the tasks performed.
Paediatric First Aid
The Paediatric First Aid Course is designed to equip individuals with the essential skills and knowledge to provide effective emergency care to infants and children. The course covers a range of topics including basic life support, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), choking, bleeding, burns, fractures, and other common childhood injuries and illnesses. You will learn how to assess an emergency, perform vital first aid, and use appropriate equipment. The training often involves both theoretical learning and practical hands-on sessions to ensure participants feel confident and competent in handling real-life emergencies.
This course is ideal for anyone who works with or cares for children. This includes parents, guardians, teachers, childcare providers, nannies, and babysitters. Additionally, it is highly recommended for sports coaches, school staff, and community group leaders who regularly interact with children.
1/2-day First Aid Refresher Course
Our half-day Annual First Aid Refresher course is designed to provide individuals who have previously completed the full First Aid at Work (FAW) or Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) courses with an opportunity to refresh and update their first aid skills and knowledge. Keeping up-to-date with first aid techniques is crucial to ensure that individuals remain confident and competent in responding to emergencies effectively.
During the Annual First Aid Refresher course, participants will have the opportunity to review and practice essential first aid skills, such as CPR, AED usage, managing wounds, fractures, and burns, and assessing and responding to various medical emergencies. The course focuses on reinforcing core concepts, addressing any questions or concerns, and providing updates on the latest best practices and guidelines in first aid. By attending this refresher course annually, participants can stay current with their first aid training and maintain their ability to respond swiftly and appropriately in emergency situations.
Why Your Business Needs First Aid Training
In addition to the moral imperative of ensuring the safety of employees, there are also legal obligations that businesses must meet. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations require employers to provide adequate first aid provisions in the workplace, including trained personnel. The Emergency First Aid at Work course fulfills these legal requirements and ensures that your business remains compliant with the necessary regulations. By proactively investing in the training of your employees, you not only meet your legal obligations but also create a culture of safety, preparedness, and care within your organization.
