We love delivering first aid courses.
All our courses are accredited by Qualsafe Awards.
Delivered passionately and putting 'life' back into first aid.
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.
This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing appropriate first aid training.
