This 3 day course is best for those whose environment has been assessed as medium or high risk, and covers many more conditions than the Emergency First Aid at Work  (1 day) course.  In an environment where employees might be at greater risk of for example fractures, or burns, then this will be the most appropriate course.  It meets the guidelines of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in this respect.  See the syllabus below:

  • Introduction and the principles and aims of First Aid
  • Scene assessment
  • Primary Survey and Unconscious Casualty
  • CPR (including AED)
  • Choking – recognition and treatment
