The First Aid at Work Training Course will prepare you to provide treatment in emergency situations where an individual falls ill or injures themsevles.

Depending on your employer and where you work, it could be a legal requirement to have trained First Aiders on site. Some factors which are part of this include the risk assessment and size of the workforce. As part of the First Aid Regulations of 1981, it is the employer’s responsibility to provide sufficient first aid support to injured or unwell staff. This includes having enough trained First Aiders and access to necessary equipment to treat affected employees.

The way the First Aid at Work Training Course is assessed varies between training providers. One assessment component that is universal is the on-going or continuous assessment, where the trainer observes your class participation to see if you have grasped how to administer treatment.
