Emergency First Aid at Work Training Courses

Emergency First Aid at Work Training Course

This one-day Emergency First Aid at Work training course can be run at your premises in Leeds, Bradford or anywhere across Yorkshire. It generally covers lower risk workplaces and is therefore highly suitable for workplaces with a small number of staff and visitors.

Our onsite or open one-day Emergency First Aid at Work training courses meet the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 covering first aid emergencies and how to deal with them.

Is this course for me?

It is for anyone that works in a low risk environment where there are minimal hazards or where your risk assessment identifies this course to be the most appropriate. If there are frequent hazards or a higher degree of risk then please consider the full 3 Day First Aid at Work as this course covers a wider range of medical conditions and incidents.

Childcare issues? Part time working?

Why not consider our new half day Blended Emergency First Aid at Work course?

What will I learn?

The content of this course has been designed to build knowledge and confidence. It will teach you to recognise and treat emergency accidents and incidents correctly and efficiently.

The practical elements of this course are essential as they provide you with vital hands-on experience. It is important that you are physically able to take part in the practical parts of the course.

The HSE requires you to attend the full duration of the course to be eligible for evaluation and qualify for an Emergency First Aid at Work certificate.
