Every year two million people suffer from injury or illness and 30 million working days are lost due to work-related causes. This costs business around £11 billion per year. An approved Health & Safety First Aid at Work course can significantly lower your company’s chance of becoming one of those statistics.

Who should attend?

All employers in the UK have a legal obligation to carry out First Aid Risk Assessments and identify the appropriate level of first provision for their organization. Following this process employers should identify appropriate individuals to attend a statutory HSE approved First Aid at Work training course.
