QUALSAFE Emergency First Aid at Work

This one-day course provides delegates with the skills to help a casualty who requires urgent first aid, such as CPR. It equips participants with the skills and knowledge needed to deal with other first aid emergencies, such as shock, allergic reactions, choking and minor injuries.

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing appropriate first aid training.

During this course, learners will develop the skills and knowledge needed to deal with a range of emergency first aid situations, including:

• Managing an unresponsive casualty
• CPR
• Choking
• Shock
• Wounds
• Bleeding and minor injuries.

The QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification designed for those who have a specific responsibility at work, to provide first aid in a range of emergency first aid situations. It is also ideal for people who have a specific responsibility to provide basic first aid in voluntary and community activities.

4 x Practical assessments and 1 x Theory assessment (Multiple Choice Question Paper).
