QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) - Level 3

QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) - Level 3

Overview

An estimated 565,000 workers sustained an injury at work in 2021/2022*. So how are you keeping your workforce safe?

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.

During this one-day course, you will develop the skills and knowledge needed to deal with a range of emergency first aid situations, including: managing an unresponsive casualty, CPR, choking, shock, wounds, catastrophic bleeding and minor injuries.

This course is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification designed for those who have a specific responsibility at work, to provide first aid in a range of emergency first aid situations. It is also ideal for people who have a specific responsibility to provide basic first aid in voluntary and community activities.
