First Aid Training Courses in Chester in Chester, Cheshire

At First Aid Courses Chester we provide a full range of First aid courses, which are approved by the Health and Safety Executive and also OFSTED. We structure our training courses in a way where we have your Business in mind and a full understanding of your needs. We know how costly it can be for you to send your staff to a designated place of training and that is why we can 'deliver' in-house training at your workplace. From 1st October 2009 employers are required to undertake a Hazard Assessment and from the findings choose either a one day EFAW course or a three Day FAW course. For the vast majority of modern workplaces the one-day EFAW will meet all of the HSE requirements. The four-day FAW Course no longer exists. Three Day First Aid at Work This is the course of choice for those individuals who need to be competent to take control of an emergency situation and care for the casualty until professional help arrives. The course is delivered in a single day and covers the HSE requirements for First Aid at Work in most workplace situations. Like all our courses it is very practical with hands-on learning throughout the day. We aim to ensure that every participant leaves us feeling confident and competent to deal with the unexpected in their day-to-day workplace setting. This is the ideal course for teachers, shop and office staff, and those working in light industry situations and public places. The course includes: •Understanding the role of the first aider, which includes duties and responsibilities and the importance of recording all accidents/incidents. •The first aid equipment that should be available • the need for recording incidents and actions • How to prioritise the order of treatment in an an emergency • Demonstrate CPR for an unconscious non breathing casualty • Administer first aid to a casualty who is suffering from shock • Administer first aid to a casualty who is choking • Dealing with other medical emergencies such as Heart attack, Asthma, Diabetes • Assessing the situation and circumstances in order to act safely, promptly and effectively in an emergency • Provide appropriate first aid for minor injuries (over 90% of first aid treatment) For more information please visit www.firstaidcourseschester.co.uk Legislation In the event of injury or sudden illness, failure to provide first aid could result in a casualty's death.
