First Aid Training for Businesses

First aid training from professional training providers is vital for a wide range of businesses. Although some businesses will provide dedicated staff members to be trained in first aid – other businesses can also benefit and empower staff by sending their team or individual team members on a first aid training course. Whatever your requirements – a professional first aid training provider is a fantastic source for first aid training for your business or organisation. 

 

At Acorn Health & Safety – we have been providing first aid training in Bristol for many years for numerous organisations, businesses and other groups. We are working with a wide range of businesses and teams that promote the safety of their staff and our numerous first aid training courses can be tailored to your specific requirements. Our trainers are industry experts with many years of working experience across many different sectors that require first aid in everyday work. Our pragmatic and engaging approach has established us as one of the leading first aid training providers in the South West.

 

During the Pandemic – we adapted our courses into live-streamed courses and continued our e-learning services. We maintained the pragmatic approach to our live-streamed courses and continue to offer these courses should you have concerns about sending staff for training during the risk of COVID-19.

 

High-Risk Sectors Will Require First Aid Training Provisions

 

If you are unsure about the risks that you may face as a business in terms of safety risks or are unsure of your requirements as a business then a first aid needs assessment or risk assessment is highly recommended. This allows you to fully understand all of the risks and first aid training requirements that you may need. 

 

Low-risk work environments will generally not legally require a registered dedicated first aider for example until 25+ whereas high-risk workplaces such as industrial or warehouse work would require dedicated trained members of staff on-site at just 5+ workers. However – there are many positives that you can expect when sending staff on a first aid course – regardless of the fact that you do not legally need to appoint a first aider. 

 

First Aid Training Courses are Useful for Any Business

 

First aid training is highly useful for any business as well as in everyday life. We believe that the ability to save a life is a powerful thing and this serves to empower the relevant staff members. Even in low-impact workplaces with minimal workers – accidents can happen and having an individual that is trained in first aid can help should something go wrong. This can also be used to support staff members with specific conditions or medical considerations. An example of this could be a staff with anaphylaxis who has a reaction and a trained first aider who has learned how to provide or support them with an EpiPen injection.

 

Why You Should Arrange First Aid Training With a Professional Provider

Professional first aid training providers are key in providing businesses with all of the support that they need in terms of training. They will often utilise specialists from within many sectors in the medical world and other professions who have many years of practical experience. Our pragmatic approach is a great example of why you should arrange your training with a professional first aid training provider. We are also more than happy to discuss your specific requirements and then recommend the course that suits you. We also act as health and safety consultants which means that if you are unsure about your requirements – we can carry out a health and safety or risk assessment for you.
