Our courses can be run on site, both convenient and cost effective with the added benefit of training in the same environment in which the delegate will be operating.

Courses can be run at a time to suit you, at weekends, in the evening or to fit in with shift patterns.

For individuals or small groups, courses are run throughout the year, please contact our office for upcoming dates and locations.

Courses can be tailored to meet your specific/additional needs ie an extra day on the First Aid at Work for Automated External Defibrillator training.

Employers are responsible for providing a safe working environment for their employees. Accidents happen, no matter how well trained your staff or perfect your safety record. Most business owners realize the importance of ensuring workplace safety and compliance with industrial safety standards. It is very important to be prepared for any emergency contingency.

For a workplace environment you should have a medical history of each employee on hand. The type of emergency kit required for the workplace depends on the number of employees, the hazards they are subjected to and the distance to a hospital.

Workplace emergency kits can range from a basic emergency kit up to a full medical room with stretcher, eye wash emergency stations, and possibly an emergency vehicle for transportation. Certified attendants should have these supplies checked at regular intervals and their own certification updated regularly.

Our professional and experienced team of trainers are selected because of their specialist knowledge and training skills, thereby giving you top quality training. Our trainers have worked worldwide in a broad range of environments and industries.

Our years of frontline operational experience responding to all types of emergencies enable us to prepare you for what we all hope will never happen.

The confident application of the simplest skills can make the difference between life and death. Just repositioning the casualty’s head may be enough to maintain life until professional medical help arrives.
