FIRST AID

First aid needs assessment

 

Completing a first aid needs assessment for your workplace is a statutory duty set out in the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.  This assessment will allow you to quickly determine the level of training for first aiders, the number and locations that are required whenever the workplace is 'open for business'.  Please contact us for advice and guidance on completing an assessment.

AED training

 

The Resuscitation Council UK have re-affirmed their view that the use of an AED requires little if any practical training.  Our courses are short, to the point and designed to show how you should integrate the deployment of your AED into your Emergency Action Plan.  We will explore ways of ensuring that your staff project a positive and 'in charge' approach to managing a suspected cardiac arrest.
