Emergency First Aid at Work Training (SCQF Level 6)

Description

This one day course is SQA SCQF Level 6 accredited and satisfies the requirements of the new HSE qualification “Emergency First Aider in the Workplace”.

This qualification gives your employees skills in basic first aid treatment, providing care for low level incidents right through to life-preserving techniques in the event of an emergency. Content includes learning how to deal with:

• Wounds
• Burns
• Stroke
• Shock
• Choking
• CPR
• Using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

This qualification allows the successful trainee to act as your appointed person within the workplace, and take charge of any first aid arrangements, including equipment and facilities. If the work environment is small and fairly low risk, or if the workplace is larger but the employee would be providing support to the Named First Aider, then this would provide sufficient information to be able to deal with any likely first aid needs that may arise.

The certificate is valid for 3 years. Participants must be age 14 and over.
