First Aid training

Details on first aid training courses both for staff and commercially as well as the training facilities used and the Law governing first aid in the workplace.

In the workplace, in order to comply with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, employers must ensure that there is adequate first aid cover in all work areas.
