Basic First Aid

Over 600,000 non-fatal injuries occur each year in the UK, resulting in pain, suffering, loss of life and financial implications. Employers need to assess first aid requirements, dependent upon the level of risk, size of the organisation as well as the type of activity.  Both employer and employee must know how to react in an emergency and feel confident that the correct levels of first aid provision have been allocated. This eLearning course only provides an introduction into awareness education and will not formally qualify anyone in Basic First Aid. However, it will teach you to assess your requirements and help you to understand your legal duty. This training should be used alongside First Aid Requirements in the Workplace (including RIDDOR).
