Emergency first aid covers the first actions you should take if an accident or incident occurs. First aid can be everything from using a plaster to cover a small cut, to knowing what to do if someone falls off a ladder. In construction, hazards are unavoidable, so it’s important to feel confident delivering first aid at work.
Why do you need to do the Emergency First Aid at Work Refresher training?
You never know when an accident is going to happen or who will be involved. Emergency First Aid will give you the confidence to know what to do if you’re the first person on the scene of an emergency.
During emergency first aid refresher training you’ll learn:
- Some of the most common situations you might encounter that require first aid
- The actions you can take to help
- How to assess a scene to rely accurate information to emergency services
- How you can act appropriately to try and increase the patient’s odds of survival.
Who should complete emergency first aid at work refresher training?
Emergency first aid training will benefit everyone. Whether you’re an onsite worker or someone who is entirely based in an office, the need for emergency first aid could happen at any time and anywhere. The more people who are first aid trained, the better.
If you frequently work alone or in small groups, first aid training is vital. This training will give you the confidence to act with a clear, level head, should an accident occur. Knowing what to do and when to do it, can make a really big difference.
Why complete first aid at work refresher training with P.I.E.R?
At P.I.E.R we believe the safety of all workers is paramount. By providing essential health and safety training, including first aid refresher training, we aim to create a safer environment for all construction workers. Our experience in the construction sector means we understand how important it is to have workers who have the right skills and training needed for their role. As a project develops, workers currently on site may need to upskill, or new workers may be required. By engaging with clients as early in their project timeline as possible, we can ensure the workers onsite at any given time have the exact skills required to get the job done.
For workers, our training provides the chance to upskill while you’re working on a project, looking for new work, or starting out in the construction industry. All of our courses can be completed as a workforce or by an individual, so if you’re an employer looking to upskill an entire workforce, or an employee in search of a specific training course, we can help.
