About the Course
Who should attend this course?
This qualification is aimed at learners who wish to become emergency first-aiders in the workplace.
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 state that employers should provide adequate and appropriate equipment and enough trained first aiders to help injured or ill staff.
The regulations only cover first aid arrangements for employees, but businesses that deal with members of the public should also consider this in their needs assessment.
What does the course involve?
This is a very practical one day course during which candidates will learn all they need to know to successfully complete the assessment at the end of the day.
Course overview:
- Assessing the casualty and situation and undertaking the appropriate action.
- The unconscious casualty and utilising the recovery position.
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) – performing artificial ventilation and chest compressions.
