Course overview

It's estimated that around 555,000 workplace injuries happen every single year in UK workplaces.

It's therefore essential that workplaces have the correct people in place to deal with potentially life-threatening situations and that other staff have a good understanding of how to react in an emergency.

This IIRSM Approved First Aid at Work Training is the perfect course for workplaces of all sizes, regardless of their industry. Using high-quality video examples, your staff will gain a solid understanding of:

the need for a first aider to be able to record incidents, prevent cross-infection, understand their role and assess situations quickly to act safely and effectively

how to administer first aid to those who are; unconscious, choking, burned, wounded and bleeding or someone suffering from shock

how to administer first aid for minor injuries (cuts, grazes, bruises, minor burns, etc.)

how to administer CPR and how to use an AED

as well as how to administer first aid to a casualty with: injuries to bones, muscles, chest injuries, eye injuries, poisoning, anaphylaxis

be able to recognise signs of a heart attack, stroke, epileptic seizures, asthma attacks or diabetes and provide first aid

Please note that this online training course does not give you full competency in First Aid. It provides general awareness but should not be used as a replacement for practical training. Always seek medical advice in case of an emergency.
