Our Emergency First Aid Awareness training course is designed to provide your staff with the necessary skills to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Accidents can happen at any time, but when faced with serious emergencies, many people lack the confidence to take action. This lack of knowledge and confidence can be detrimental and may even cost someone their life. By enrolling in our Emergency First Aid Awareness training course, you will gain the skills and knowledge needed to keep a heart beating just a little bit longer.

Through this online course, your staff will learn how to effectively recognise emergency situations, manage incidents appropriately, and administer first aid safely. The Emergency First Aid Awareness course covers important topics such as basic life support, controlling bleeding, treating strains and sprains, and how to properly examine a casualty.

Our Emergency First Aid Awareness course is specifically tailored for low-risk workplaces such as offices, shops, or restaurants, aiming to provide employees with new first aid skills or refresh their existing knowledge. However, if you require a fully qualified first aider, we recommend considering our comprehensive Emergency First Aid at Work training course, which can be found here.

Investing in our Emergency First Aid Awareness course will not only equip your staff with life-saving skills, but it will also create a safer and more secure work environment. By empowering your employees to respond confidently in emergency situations, you can greatly increase the chances of positive outcomes and potentially save lives. Enrol in our course today and make a difference in the lives of your staff and those around you.
