About this course

Employers are required to carry out an assessment of first-aid needs. This involves consideration of workplace hazards and risks, the size of the organisation and other relevant factors, to determine what first-aid equipment, training, facilities, and personnel should be provided.

Our First Aid at Work course is designed for workplaces that fall into a higher risk category, e.g., construction, organisations that handle chemicals and for any workplaces that deals with a variety of underlying health conditions as well as providing comprehensive training for those who are required to be the designated first aider within their workplace.

Our First Aid at Work course meets the requirements specified by the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Delivered in a classroom setting, our FAW is the perfect blend of theoretical and practical sessions conducted by one of our instructors.
