Whether you work in a coffee shop, an office or a factory, having some form of first aid provision is a legal requirement. But which first aid course is right for you? The first starting point is to undertake a first aid needs assessment. This will guide you in understanding the level of first aid training that you need & how many first aiders you should have.
Also think about;
How much you would be happy to do for someone (how much do you actually need to learn)
Who might you need to help (ages)
What injuries they’re likely to have (cuts and bruises or something more serious).
Do they have pre-existing conditions (Angina, Anaphylaxis, etc)?
Once you’ve worked this out, you’ll be able to select the best first aid training for your needs.
