TRANSCRIPT
Emergency First Aid at Work
This qualification provides a basic
insight into first aid procedures,
delegates will learn basic life
support skills and improve their
chances of coping with a casualty
in an emergency.
Employers should decide on the
appropriate level of first aid training
required by carrying out a “first aid
needs assessment.” Should you
need assistance in completing an
assessment please contact Ouch.
Who needs this qualification?
The Emergency First Aid at Work course is
more suitable for lower risk work environments,
such as offices, shops or organisations with
fewer than 100 employees. Anyone identified
by their employer as being suitable to take on
the role of an emergency first aider in their
workplace.
Why is this training important?
Just imagine how awful it would be if one of
your staff or visitors was injured or became ill at
work. This course will equip delegates with the
skills and knowledge to deal with life
threatening conditions until help arrives.
The H&S (First-Aid) regulations 1981 place a
general duty on employers to provide first-aid
treatment to employees within the workplace
environment. If, having assessed first-aid
needs, an employer decides to appoint first
aiders, the first aider must have a valid
certificate of competence.
