The importance of First Aid in the Workplace training

The workplace may seem like a safe place, but an accident can occur at any time and, if it does, who in the workplace can help?

First aid training gives staff the confidence and ability to react immediately to an incident, injury or illness before professional medical assistance arrives. By making first aid training part of employee training, employers can show their workforce that they care about providing a safe work environment. First aid training also helps employees learn to be more conscious of safety in the workplace, leading to a reduced number of accidents and injuries.

It is proven that first aid saves lives.

We have created a separate page about the importance of First Aid in the Workplace training. There you can find answers to a lot of recurring questions about First Aid at work.

There is a host of advantages to completing training courses online as opposed to in-person training. Here we outline what we consider to be the biggest advantages when learning remotely.

• Due to no time limits being imposed on participants, there is no pressure to complete your learning by a specific time or date. The exam can be taken whenever you feel confident and ready.
• Every member of staff you enrol on our First Aid in the Workplace course will read and study the same information; consistency doesn’t have to be a worry.
• You eliminate the need for travel arrangements. This saves a considerable amount of time and, importantly, budget.
• An online training course is a lot more affordable than a traditional course. £17.50 per person means you can afford to train more staff members.
• Staff can study whenever their schedule allows them. With traditional in-person courses, you need to adjust to the lecturer’s schedule.
