First Aid at Work - 2 Day Refresher Course

It is recommended that employers conduct a new risk assessment regularly so that they select the most appropriate course and number of first aiders for their business. This involves consideration of a number of factors including hazards and risks in your workplace, number of employees, accident history, lone workers and distribution of workforce

Overview:

All first aiders need to be requalified within 3 years of their certification date. Our Level 3 First Aid at Work Requalification will help to refresh your memory when it comes to first aid and safety in the workplace. During this 2 day course, you will learn how to deal with a range of situations, including those which are minor and life-threatening. The programme covers cross infection, basic equipment use, incident management and how to report emergencies in line with your company’s procedures. We will show you how to effectively treat patients in life threatening situations; for example, if they are unconscious, bleeding, choking, in shock, suffering from a seizure or aren’t breathing. Treatment of heart attacks, anaphylaxis, asthma and cardiac arrest will also be covered in this training course. You will be assessed by the trainer throughout the course and you will also be given practical and theoretical tests.
