Corporate First Aid
Corporate First Aid - Appointed Person (1 day)
This course offers a basic but essential introduction to life-saving first aid, and is aimed at those working in low-risk environments who have little or no first aid experience.
For employers and small businesses, this 1-day course offers the basic level of cover in first aid training to groups of delegates, and includes both theory and practical first aid sessions in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
As with all our first aid courses, we encourage participants to get hands-on practice in perfecting the skills that could save lives in an emergency situation.
During the day, participants will cover the following subjects:
- Aims and objectives of first aid
- Managing an incident
- Prioritising casualties
- Examining a casualty
- Basic life support
- Dealing with an unconscious casualty
- Controlling bleeding
- Fractures, dislocations and sprains
- Management of burns and scalds
- Recording and reporting
- First aid kits and contents
- Regulations
While there is no formal examination to pass, candidates are monitored throughout the day and continuously assessed on their ability and confidence when dealing with "casualties".
At the end of the course, successful participants will be trained to "Appointed Person" first aid standard, and issued with a certificate valid for 3 years. They will also receive a copy of the Resuscitation Council (UK) booklet Resuscitation for the Citizen.
This training can be conducted either at our training facility or, in most instances, at a client's choice of location.
