HSE Appointed Person - First Aid in the Workplace

First aid training is something that we are just as likely to use in the home or on the street, as we are to use it in the workplace. The benefits of being able to provide meaningful assistance to someone who’s life may be in danger is immeasurable, even if you can help make someone more comfortable whilst awaiting professional help, first aid training benefits us all. All delegates receive a free first aid manual.

All programmes can be tailored specifically to the needs of your organisation.

You can further raise your emergency effectiveness by completing our “Combined Emergency Response Course” incorporating both practical fire extinguisher use and emergency first aid in the work place.
