Emergency First Aid at Work

What’s involved?

The training day focuses on a core set of emergency lifesaving skills that can be applied across any working environment. Many of these are practical in nature – whereby an instructor will demonstrate and allow time for hands on practice.

Candidates also learn about their responsibilities as a first aider. What to do when at the scene, what information to give to the emergency services and how to report after an accident.

What you get out of it
