First Aid at Work Requalification

First Aid at Work Requalification

It is a requirement of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 that employers provide a safe and healthy environment to work in. If employers’ risk assessments of first aid requirements highlight the need to maintain the qualification of their First Aider’s, then this course will meet those needs. This First Aid at Work Requalification two-day course is designed to enable existing first Aider’s to extend their qualification in line with the Regulations for a further three years.

This Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work Requalification course must be taken before the expiry date of the original qualification. The course covers a wide range of first aid emergencies, enabling all participants to deal with emergency situations with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way. In addition, this course will include any protocol changes that may have arisen since their last training course.

Includes Lunch.

Liam Ford – May 26, 2016:

This is a brilliant course and I would recommend it. As Ruth has first hand experience of First aid due to her Army Medical training she makes the course much more active and physical than other courses I have been on. The requal was a great refresher for me.
