Course Introduction
The First Aid at Work Regulations 1981 require all employers and the
self employed to make first aid provisions for their staff at work.
Solutions are a Health & Safety Executive approved first aid at work
training provider. This course has been designed to ensure you have a
person at work that is confident and competent to deal with an
emergency. It is not a substitute for a qualified first aider. However,
a person with appointed persons training may cover the short term
absence of a first aider.
The course centres on training staff to recognise and manage both life
threatening situations and other incidents that may occur in the
workplace. The content is line with the revised Resuscitation Council
protocols of December 2005.
It is only delivered by trainers who either qualified as ambulance
paramedic, or nurse tutors. The company does not use lay / non
professional instructors. This means that the trainers are able to share
years of practical experience with the participants.
Please note that all participants have access to an incident debrief
help line. This is designed to allow people trained by Solutions to talk
through any incident they may have been called upon to assist with.
Optional additional modules are available to this course - please ask
