This one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course is designed to provide the practical skills and knowledge needed to act effectively in a workplace emergency. Whether you're looking to meet HSE requirements or simply feel better prepared, this hands-on training delivers essential first aid techniques in a clear and engaging way.
The Emergency First Aid at Work course is designed to equip participants with the skills to respond to a wide range of medical emergencies in the workplace. Delivered in a supportive and practical environment, the session covers CPR, use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), managing choking incidents, treating wounds and bleeding, recognising and managing shock, and providing care for minor injuries. You’ll also learn about the role and responsibilities of a first-aider, including how to prevent cross-infection, assess a scene quickly and safely, and record incidents accurately.
Training is split into easily digestible modules, combining instructor-led guidance with practical hands-on exercises using top-grade Laerdal Bluetooth feedback manikins. This real-time feedback helps reinforce proper technique and boosts confidence in applying new skills. By the end of the day, successful candidates will meet the HSE's requirements for workplace first aiders and leave with a PDF certificate and supporting handbook for ongoing reference.
