First Aid at Work Requalification

Course Aim

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.

This course focuses on adult protocols only. Trainers can teach child/infant protocols if required, but the student will not be certified in this.

For those learners that are seeking to renew their 3 day First Aid at Work qualification there is a 30 day grace period from when the original certificate expires.

Delegates must have evidence (e.g. certificate) of their previous training.
