Under the First Aid at Work Regulations 1981, employers are required to provide adequate equipment, facilities and trained personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention in the event of injury or illness. At Office Test, we offer comprehensive First Aid Training services designed to meet these legal obligations and ensure the safety of your workforce.
We provide both Emergency First Aid at Work (1-day) and the more extensive First Aid at Work (3-day) courses, tailored to suit the specific needs of your organisation. Whether you are looking to train a small group or your entire staff, our courses ensure you have trained personnel ready to handle emergencies.
Our first aid training is designed to be both engaging and practical, ensuring your employees feel confident in providing immediate assistance during an emergency. Here’s what to expect:
Both courses can be delivered at your site or at our dedicated training centre in London, offering flexibility and convenience. Led by experienced, DBS-checked trainers, the course structure ensures employees leave with the knowledge and skills to confidently manage any first aid situation.
When you choose Office Test for your first aid training, you benefit from:
First Aid Training equips your staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide immediate assistance to a person who has been injured or fallen ill. From performing CPR to handling bleeding, burns and medical conditions, first aid training is essential for keeping employees safe in any workplace. Depending on the nature of your business, this training can range from basic emergency procedures to comprehensive, multi-day programs covering a wider range of first aid techniques.
First Aid Training is not only a legal requirement under the First Aid at Work Regulations 1981, but it is also critical for ensuring the safety and well-being of your staff. In the event of an injury or sudden illness, having trained personnel on-site can prevent a minor incident from becoming life-threatening. Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to legal penalties, fines and reputational damage, making it essential for businesses to ensure that they meet the required standards.
All businesses, regardless of size, are required to provide first aid training to designated employees. However, the level and extent of training needed depend on the nature of the workplace:
Training should be extended to multiple employees to ensure first aid coverage in case the designated personnel are unavailable.
To maintain compliance and ensure staff remain confident in their first aid skills, training should be refreshed every three years as recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Additionally, it’s good practice to conduct annual refresher sessions to keep employees up-to-date with the latest first aid techniques and standards.
