First Aid at Work PDF Print E-mail
This first aid course is designed to train selected employees in both theoretical and practical aspects of First Aid, to the standard required by Health & Safety Executive. The First Aid at Work Course complies fully with the current Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Successful candidates will be awarded a "First Aid at Work" certificate. The First Aid qualification associated with this course is valid for 3 years.
When selecting delegates for this course, the employer should bear in mind the qualities required to make a good First Aider. For example, it is essential that those people selected are reliable and likely to remain calm in an emergency. In addition, they should have the aptitude and ability to cope with stressful and physically demanding emergency procedures.

First aid Health and Safety Executive regulation changes 

October 2009 will see the Health and Safety Executive make the first changes to the First Aid Regulations The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 L74 for over a quarter of a century, in the hope of improving First Aid skills and regulation compliance in the workplace.  These changes have been developed in consultation with first aid training providers to address specific issues relating to the future approval of these training organisations, including Pre Med Health Care. Subsequently, HSE has met with stakeholder groups representing first aid training providers to address specific issues relating to the future approval of these training organisations

Paul Evans Director of Medical Services, stated:
“The major change in the regulation will be that the current 4 day First Aid at Work (FAW) course will be reduced to a 3 day course. A new level of First Aid provision will be introduced; the Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course will be a mandatory 1 day course similar to the Emergency Aid for Appointed Persons course that is currently recommended.

To help employers understand the changes we've compiled a set of frequently asked questions and common enquiries received by HSE".
