The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to identify the requirements for first aid within their workplaces. This includes the provision, where appropriate, of fully qualified first aiders, i.e. those who have successfully undertaken an HSE-approved four-day First Aid at Work course.
This course meets the legislative criteria and successful candidates will be awarded an HSE-approved certificate that is valid for a period of three years.
Who this course is for
Anyone designated by their employer as an official first aider, or where work is carried out in a higher risk environment requiring a greater provision of first aid support.
Benefits of first aid at work training to your organisation
As a registered first aider, you will have a fully portable three-year certificate to support your competence. For employers, the provision of a fully qualified first aider may help you meet the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid at Work) Regulations and will ensure that you have on-site provision to deal with most first aid emergency situations.
