Emergency First Aid at Work
Course Objectives
The new Six Hour Emergency First Aid at Work supercedes the old 'First Aid Appointed Person' course but continues to cover essential emergency lifesaving techniques and skills, giving you confidence to deal with incidents in a 'Low Hazard' workplace. This practical, hands-on course can be tailored to the needs and situation of your workplace, ensuring it is relevant and at a time and date that suits you.
Emergency First Aid at Work for Appointed Persons Certificates are valid for three years and it is strongly recommended that an annual Three Hour refresher course is taken to remain up to date with any changes that may occur.
