Workplace Training Courses
Employers are required by law to make sure that any employee who is injured or taken ill at work receives immediate attention. To do this, employers must provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable First Aid to be given to employees if required (The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981)
What is adequate will depend on the workplace and will govern how many trained First Aiders are needed, what should be included in a First Aid box and if a First Aid room is required.
See our general guidelines on requirements for First Aid personnel.
For detailed information on HSE requirements regarding First Aid at Work, go to www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/index.htm
St. Andrew's has been teaching First Aid since 1882, and our standards of training are being continually updated to meet the criteria laid down by both the Health and Safety Executive and SQA.
Our Trainer/Assessors are fully qualified to ensure your employees fulfil the First Aid requirements in the workplace. We offer courses to train people both as First Aiders and as Appointed Persons, as well as re-qualification courses to ensure that First Aid knowledge is maintained.
