Did you know that an estimated 609,000 workers in Britain sustained an injury at work in 2016/17?
The health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive  immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing appropriate first aid training. However, having the current first aid provision in the workplace is not just a legal requirement,  it is incredibly important for the safety of all members of staff!
The First Aid at Work  qualification is a specifically designed for individuals who wish to act as a first aider in their workplace. Successful candidates will learn how to manage a range of injuries and illnesses that could occur at work and will be equipped with the essential skills needed to give emergency first aid
What’s more, as a regulated qualification, employers can book this course for their employees and rest assured that they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid training, without having to undertake any lengthy due diligence checks
