Courses

All organisations should make sure that they have a sufficient number of employees who have undertaken the relevant first-aid training.

Employers must ensure that their provision is ‘adequate and appropriate in the circumstances’. The best way to do this is by undertaking a risk assessment. If your unsure you can contact us for advice.

It is the employers responsibility to decide what the requirements of the organisation are. This can be done by assessing any specific work hazards and ensuring that sufficient first-aid equipment, facilities and properly qualified personnel are available to deal with the consequences of these hazards. Also consider if your teams would benefit from Mental Health First Aid training. This could lower absenteeism and you could be awarded accreditation as positive mental health employer.
