About 1st Aid Fire
1st Aid Fire is a company specialising in providing businesses and
industry with quality, comprehensive, health and safety, first aid and
fire training, we also conduct fire risk assessments in accordance with
the regulatory reform order (fire) and produce a comprehensive fire log
book.
Training courses and fire risk assessments are conducted in-company
or at open training venues, at a date and time to suit your business
needs. We are able to provide these services throughout the UK and
can accommodate evening and weekend courses.
Our aim is to provide high quality training with an emphasis on the
practical use of the skills taught. Students need to understand the
theoretical side of the courses, however, the most important part is
putting the knowledge they have gained in to practice.
We believe that training is the way forward in providing management
with the confidence they need to ensure the safety of staff and
premises. As an employer paying for the training, you need to know
that you are not only getting value for money but also that your
employees are able to put in to practice what they have learnt.
Whether it is health and safety, fire or first aid, prevention is always
better than a cure.

Trainers
All of our trainers have a wealth of knowledge and come from
specialist backgrounds which include the armed forces, fire service
and medical services. This depth of knowledge enables the trainers to
teach in a relaxed manner, relating the training to the real world and
not in a mundane text book manner. This attitude towards training
relaxes students enabling them to retain the information given and
promote an environment where they are able to ask questions freely.
We currently have 20 qualified trainers available to conduct courses
throughout mainland UK.
All first aid instructors hold a minimum of a first aid at work instructor’s
qualification.
All fire trainers have practical fire service experience as a military or
civilian operational fire fighter.
All fire risk assessors come from a fire service, fire safety back ground
and have practical experience within the fire service and within the
commercial sector.
All health and safety trainers are qualified and have practical
experience in their relevant training fields.
It is important that standards are maintained with all our trainers,
therefore, we hold periodic training workshops where we assess the
trainers and the level of training they provide which enables us to
ensure that you receive the best training possible at all times.

Automated External Defibrillator An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, easy to use machine that has the potential to save someone’s life. AED is well established as the only effective therapy for cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT).
The scientific evidence to support early defibrillation is overwhelming, the single most determinant of survival being the delay from collapse to delivery of the first shock. The chances of successful defibrillation decline at a rate of approximately 10% with each minute. Basic life support may help to sustain a shockable rhythm but is not a definitive treatment.
We offer a comprehensive AED course based on the necessary theory and practical requirements. The course is run over half a day and is designed to be as informative, yet enjoyable as possible, allowing candidates to gain confidence in what is possibly a lifesaving piece of equipment. Training conforms to current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines.
On completion of this course all delegates will receive a certificate of attendance and a course information folder which is designed to be used to consolidate training.

Moving and Handling People This half day course is specifically designed for staff that may be involved in manual handling people within the work place and introduces them to the hazards and risks involved.
Patient handling is a specialised area of manual handling. It includes any task that involves moving or supporting a patient including carrying, pushing, pulling, lifting and lowering. Handling a person is more complex and unpredictable than handling an object. People may be heavy or hard to grip and must be treated with dignity, respect and consideration for their capabilities. Safe handling means making it safe for both carer and patient. There are limits to the load people can handle without risk of harm. When the load is another person it usually exceeds those limits – so we need to eliminate thinking that a lift will be involved. Subjects covered within the course include:
Theoretical
Health and Safety at Work 1974
Manual Handling Regulations 1999
Duty of care
Understanding the need for accident prevention and control
Moving and handling assessments
Basic principles of safer patient handling
Company patient handling policy

future claim for injury.

Fire Extinguishers According to a UK survey undertaken by the Fire Extinguisher Trades Association (FETA) fire extinguishers are estimated to:
Save the UK economy over £500 million, based on values of total fire claims for commercial premises. Prevent 1,629 injuries. Prevent the loss of 23 lives.
Fire losses in the UK are currently estimated at £7 billion per annum but these official statistics only take into account those incidents reported to the Fire Service.
