First aid at work

The aims and objectives of the Health and Safety Executive first aid at work course are to enable individuals designated as the first aider at work to carry out appropriate first aid in an emergency situation.

Following the course the attendees will be able to manage a casualty who is injured at work, or suffers from a serious illness, until the emergency services arrive.

Course assessment

All attendees are required to undertake an assessment on the final day of the course; both practical and theoretical aspects will be assessed. The assessments are carried out by two external assessors who have not been involved in the teaching of the course. Our assessors are trained to carry out the assessments in a low stress environment and to install confidence in all attendees.

Course certification

All successful attendees will be awarded a certificate approved by the Health and Safety Executive, this certificate is valid for three years.
