The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. These regulations apply to all workplaces, including those with five or fewer employees, and to the self-employed.

This Emergency First Aid Course is ideal for people requiring Appointed Person status. The one day course includes both theory and practical sessions within a relaxed atmosphere that is designed to promote confidence.

The CIEH Level 2 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work introduces candidates to:

• the roles and responsibilities of a first aider

• the legal requirements for first-aid provision

• the importance of accurate incident reporting

• first-aid equipment and its safe use

• the need to minimise the risk of infection

• the importance of assessing an incident

• undertaking a primary survey

• when and how to call for help.

It also provides the opportunity to practise the skills needed to administer first aid to a casualty who is:

 • unconscious

• not breathing

• choking

• bleeding from a wound

• in shock

• suffering from a minor injury.

All candidates must be able to demonstrate First Aid treatment, including CPR to a casualty who is on the floor, to be able to achieve goals set by on-going practical assessments. We would also expect participants to be capable of kneeling, bending and lying down.

Clothing needs to be trousers or shorts with stable firm fitting shoes.

Our accredited all day Emergency First Aid at Work courses require photographic proof of identity ie passport or driving licence in order to gain entry to the courses
