First Aid at Work

Control Risks delivers first aid courses for organisations and private individuals to give first aiders the skills and ability to deliver immediate attention for minor injuries and illnesses and to seek professional medical assistance in more serious cases. The course has been designed with the security professional in mind, and is ideal for individuals seeking employment or currently employed within the security industry within hostile or remote environments.

The course goes beyond basic first aid and CPR to cover the more serious injuries which you may have to deal with as a security operative including head injuries and trauma care, ballistic injuries and casualty handling and handover information. On completion of this course, participants will be taught the required skills and ability to deal with casualties, providing basic life support until specialist help arrives.

First aid for close protection officers

In order to obtain a licence, the SIA require all close protection officers operational in the UK to hold a first aid certificate accredited by either IHCD or the Health and Safety Executive. Our First Aid at Work course covers all elements required by the HSE, and in conjunction with our close protection course qualifies attendees to apply for an SIA licence.

Participants will have the opportunity to test their skills, ability and management of scenes through our realistic situation awareness training. Through structured trauma scenes with professional moulage and actors, your ability to respond under the most challenging conditions will be tested.

All of our instructors have a background of practical experience within the medical sector including paramedics, special forces medics and specialist doctors. Through our experienced team, we are able to deliver first aid training worldwide.
