What are My First Aid Training Requirements?

 

As discussed – there’s often discussions around first aid training of ‘legal requirements’ and ‘recommendations.’ If you are ever unsure about your business or organisations’ first aid requirements then we are always able to advise you on what training you may need to arrange for staff members. As first aid training covers a wide range of different businesses and premises – there are more basic and advanced training courses tailored to specific requirements. This is reflected in the number of courses that we have to offer which are as follows:

 

• Anaphylaxis – ANA01
• Adults and Paediatric Basic Life Support – BLS05
• Basic Life Support for Adults Training –­­ BLS01
• Basic Life Support for Paediatric – BLS03

In order to find out your first aid requirements – an assessment of your first aid requirements will need to be carried out. Appropriate arrangements need to be made to have an appointed person who is in charge of first-aid arrangements. They do not necessarily have to have first aid training however as this is relevant to the requirements of your business or organisation. Some small, low-risk workplaces, for example, will only need a first aid box and a person appointed to take charge of first-aid arrangements. 

 

These arrangements include calling the emergency services in an emergency and stocking the first-aid box. This role will not require specific health and safety training in this instance. If however – your workplace has significant health and safety risks such as machinery in operation or hazardous waste/materials being handled then you will more than likely required a trained first aider. 

 

For other industries such as the care sector, more specific training courses may be required. In regards to these specific courses – these are offered as well as general first aid training courses. Where mandatory training is required – we are able to offer tailored courses that will suit your exact requirements. We offer a wide variety of tailored courses to ensure that your requirements are met.

 

What are the Benefits of Arranging for First Aid Training?

 

If you are legally required to arrange for first aid training or if mandatory training is required then although this is required – this also has benefits to your employees and business. Even if you are not required legally to arrange for first aid training – there are still benefits should you decide to send a member of staff on a first aid training course. 

 

The ability to save someone’s life makes you pretty special and this extends to attending a first aid course. The ability to have a member of staff that could potentially save a life is invaluable and can boost the morale of the team. 

 

Trained employees are not only qualified to carry out first aid in the workplace, they are also able to carry out first aid when outside of the office which extends the benefits further than the workplace. Arranging for first aid training can empower your employees whilst ensuring that you are legally compliant should the law require this.

Why First Aid Training Can be Important to Every Business

 

First aid training can be important to every business – and is not just limited to your legal requirements. As mentioned there are numerous benefits to arranging for first aid training. As some workplaces will be low risk – the legal requirement to have a trained first aider will not apply however in workplaces where workers have allergies – it can be beneficial to arrange for first aid training.
