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 provided by first aid training courses. However, having the correct first aid at work provision in the workplace is not just a legal requirement, it is incredibly important for the safety of all members of staff!

The QA Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) qualification first aid course is specifically designed for individuals who wish to act as a first aider in their workplace. Successful candidates of these first aid courses will learn how to manage a range of injuries and illnesses that could occur at work and will be equipped with the essential first aid skills needed to give emergency first aid.

What’s more, as a regulated qualification, employers can book this first aid at work course for their employees and rest assured that they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid, without having to undertake any lengthy due diligence checks.
