If you have more than one employee working at a site, the Health & Safety Executive requires you to have an ‘appointed person’ to deal with any emergency situation that may arise. The course is ideal for small teams of workers away from the central workplace, where there is no first aid cover.
The course equips students with the skills to take charge and deal with an emergency effectively - with the emphasis on preventing situations from becoming worse and maintaining life until help arrives.
The course includes:
- Communication & delegation in an emergency
- Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation
- The respiratory system
- Care of the airway
- Care of the unconscious patient
- Control of bleeding
- Treatment of burns & scalds
- Dealing with other common medical conditions
