The aims and objectives of the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) First Aid at Work course is to enable individuals to carry out appropriate first aid in an emergency situation. Following the course the attendees will be able to manage a casualty who is injured at work, or suffers from a serious illness until the emergency services arrive.

A copy of a valid in date First Aid at Work Certificate for each attendee is required prior to the training (in some cases we can re-qualify an individual up to one month after their certificate has expired).
