FIRST AID TRAINING IN FROME, SOMERSET

At First Medic (based in Frome, Somerset) we deliver First Aid training courses
in line with the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), as
approved by the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

Our first aid courses are officially recognised by the Health and Safety
Executive.  These are the following:

 * First Aid at Work (3-day course), is suitable for medium and higher risk
   environments
 * Emergency First Aid at Work (1-day course), suitable for lower risk
   environments.

Note that employers are responsible their own risk assessment and selecting
which course is appropriate for them in their own workplace

In addition, First Medic also offer a 4-hour Basic Life Support course for those
who do not require a full course but who would like to possess some of the basic
skills and knowledge for use in an emergency situation.

We are also able to tailor our first aid training courses to meet the needs of
some employers whose workplaces may have different and specific hazards, e.g.
toxic chemicals, burns…


FIRST AID AT WORK


First Aid at Work is our most comprehensive first aid training course. It is
delivered over 3 days (18 hours), and will qualify you to deliver First Aid at
Work. This complies with the legal requirement for employers to provide adequate
and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees
receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.

The First Aid at Work course is designed chiefly for workplaces in medium to
high risk environment.

We can also deliver this course in the blended learning format, which involves
an online study course of 6 hours. This online part comes complete with progress
checks tests and a final exam, followed by 2 days in the classroom (12 hours).

EMERGENCY FIRST AID AT WORK

The Emergency First Aid at Work course takes one day (6 hours). It is designed
to qualify you as an Emergency First Aider at Work. This is similar to the
three-day First Aid at Work course, with the exception of some injuries and
illnesses which are not covered.  Examples of these include poisoning, suspected
spinal injuries, anaphylactic shock, or diabetes.  As such, it is considered to
be suitable for employers operating in a lower risk environment.

Employers are responsible their own risk assessment and selecting which course
is appropriate for them in their own workplace.

BASIC LIFE SUPPORT


The Basic Life Support is the only course not officially recognised by the
Health and Safety Executive, but the training is to the same standard, only it
covers fewer elements than the other two courses.  It is a popular course aimed
at any member of the public or organisation; it is designed so that any person
can learn basic emergency life-saving skills which could be of use in a
potential life-threatening emergency.  These include Sudden Cardiac Arrest,
severe bleeding, and choking.  The Basic Life Support training course duration
is only 4 hours, and it includes plenty of hands-on practise to make students
feel confident in being able to apply those skills in a live situation.  The use
of the Automatic External Defibrillator is also taught.

FIRST AID TRAINING REFRESHERS AND REQUALIFICATIONS

As with all disciplines, skills fade over time.  First Medic recognise this, so
we offer a series of training courses designed to maintain those skills current
and ensure that our customers remain confident about how to apply their skills.

The diagram below shows the sequence of training and refresher training
according to the Health and Safety Executive.

This consists of two annual refreshers followed by a requalification.  In the
case of the First Aid at Work the requalification takes 2 days (12 hours).  For
the Emergency First Aid at Work the requalification is a repeat of the initial
one day (6 hour) course.

The annual refreshers only take a half day (3 hours) for both qualifications.

We offer all refresher and requalification courses as well. 


Would highly recommend First Medic! Very professional and informative with great
communication.
