Emergency First Aid at Work – Level 3 Award

If your organisation has undertaken a first-aid needs assessment and identified a need for staff to be trained to this level, this qualification is for you. It meets the legal requirements for training emergency first aiders. It is also a great opportunity for anyone who simply wants to know first aid, so that they can apply it in an emergency situation.

In line with guidance provided by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), people who take this training are approved to be workplace emergency first aiders for a period of 3 years. After that period, they need to retake the award.

The qualification covers knowledge such as:

• roles and responsibilities of the first aider
• how to assess an incident

The qualification also covers first aid skills such as:

• CPR
• use of an AED
• providing first aid to a casualty who is choking
• dealing with external bleeding and hypovolaemic shock

Equip yourself with the skills to manage an emergency situation and provide the right assistance prior to the arrival of emergency service support.
