We
provide First Aid Courses to Industry,
Schools, Commerce and the Public
On
March 14th 1997, The
Secretary of State introduced Revised Codes of Practise in respect of
First Aid
at Work.
Regulation
3(1) state that an employer shall provide a number of suitable persons
to
render First Aid to his or her employees , if they should become
injured or ill
at work. Such a person/s will not be suitable unless they have
undergone
training and gained appropriate First Aid Qualification/s.
It
is therefore a legal requirement to have
people at work who are qualified to act as First Aiders in your
workplace.
In
order to assist Companies meet their
obligations, we offer free advice and a number of Courses as outlined
below. Prices
for each Course vary and are readily made available with further
