Whether it’s sudden cardiac arrest, a workplace injury, or a medical emergency, our course ensures that participants know how to act quickly and confidently until professional medical help arrives.

This training follows the latest UK Resuscitation Council guidelines and is structured to meet all HSE regulations, ensuring your team is fully prepared to handle emergencies at work. You’ll gain critical knowledge in CPR, AED operation, and managing serious injuries, all essential components of any workplace’s emergency response plan.

Course Structure and Content

Our First Aid & AED Training at Work is delivered in person, providing a blend of theoretical learning and practical, hands-on training. Whether you’re attending at our Manchester venue or at your own site across the UK (subject to minimum group requirements), the course ensures that participants engage directly with training materials and equipment.

Course Overview:

The three-day First Aid at Work course covers a wide range of emergency scenarios, including:

  • CPR and adult resuscitation techniques
  • Using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to save lives during sudden cardiac arrest
  • How to manage spinal injuries, head injuries, and fractures
  • Burns treatment and how to manage bleeding and shock
  • Handling diabetic emergencies, seizures, and allergic reactions
  • Choking management and care for unconscious casualties
  • Infection prevention and maintaining safe incident reporting

In addition to this, we offer an Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) option, a one-day course for workplaces with lower risks, or where fewer first aiders are required.

What are the legal requirements of the workplace?

Employers have an obligation under the health and safety (first aid) regulations 1981 to make adequate and appropriate provision for their workforce. Within the Utility industry first aid provision may be more detailed and include a surplus of medical equipment due to the greater risks involved in the workplace.

All courses are designed to give your staff the essential skills they need, and the confidence required to provide effective first aid. All our courses meet and exceed the current (UK) Resuscitation Council guidelines and are HSE compliant.
