HSE-approved First Aid Training

If you have identified that first aiders are needed in your workplace, they must gain a certificate of competence from a training organisation that has been approved by the HSE. That is were we come in.

For a sensible price we ensure that your employees receive the training that they need, along with a certificate that proves their competency .

We do not deliver generic courses!
What is the point of your employees learning how to handle an incident in an office environment if they work in a busy workshop or out on a construction site.

Legal Duties:

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with five or fewer employees and to the self-employed.

What is adequate will depend on the circumstances in the workplace. Employers should carry out an assessment of first aid needs to determine this.

The Regulations do not place a legal obligation on employers to make first aid provision for non-employees such as the public or children in schools. However, HSE strongly recommend that non-employees are included in a first aid needs assessment and that provision is made for them.
 
Whilst the regulations do not give specific personnel numbers, the guidance does give suggested numbers of first aid personnel can be found on the HSE's website.
