Practical sessions focus on construction related scenarios; falls from height, confined space rescue, crush injury and site vehicle incidents.
Immediate Emergency Care (Advanced) is a course aimed at and developed by industry professionals in liason with health care professionals with an extensive pre-hospital care background. It has been developed by research into the type of incidents that industry has to deal with on a daily basis. The 4 day first aid at work is the standard that we in industry are told we have to train to. This is the same standard and syllabus that a shop assistant, librarian or teacher also have to achieve. Unfortunately we are faced with far different scenarios on site, particularly if the site is isolated or undertaking specialist operations such as working at height.
