HSE: Emergency First Aid at Work – 1 day (HSE Approval No. 40/07)

This one day course covers dealing with incidents, calling for help, treatment of the unconscious casualty, CPR techniques, dealing with bleeding, contents of a first aid kit and medical emergencies. Covering the minimum emergency first aid requirements as set out by the HSE for the latest changes to legislation that were implemented in October 2009.

An “Appointed Person” for the workplace in first aid legislation terms is someone who is responsible for keeping the first aid kit stocked and ensuring that an ambulance is called if needed in an emergency situation. This course will leave candidates confident in dealing with an emergency situation whilst awaiting the ambulance, and give a basic understanding of the impact of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 upon the workplace.

EFAW/FAW + Forestry
The HSE and Forestry Commission recognise that working in remote environments with cutting tools can present significant risks. Part of the process for managing these risks is having suitably trained staff and equipment in place to deal with an accident effectively should it happen. At Climbmedic we can provide First Aid training that meets the needs of lone workers, foresters or people working at height. In addition we can provide the medical equipment needed to manage major bleeds, crush injuries or suspension injuries.

All of our training team are Wilderness EMT’s who have extensive experience of managing casualties in difficult and remote locations through both industry and rescue team involvement.

Our courses are EFAW+f and FAW+f compliant.

Contact us to discuss your specific work or environmental requirements, and to learn of the range of services we can help with from risk assessment to procurement of specialist safety equipment.
