FAQ - THE FIRST AID AT WORK TRAINING COURSE

Frequently Asked Questions

With First Aid at Work being so important, it’s common to have a lot of questions about it. To hopefully answer the question you’re looking for, we’ve put together some of the common questions our training experts get asked below.

What is first aid at work?

First aid at work is helping and giving immediate attention to someone who is injured or fallen ill at work, whether it has been caused by their work or not.

Employers need to make first aid arrangements to ensure this can happen and to help prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones.

What is the legal requirement for first aiders at work? The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 requires you to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities and people so your employees can receive immediate help if they are injured or taken ill at work. This also includes an employer needing to provide an adequate and appropriate number of suitably trained people to administer first aid to their employees, ensure they have an appropriate first aid qualification and remain competent to perform their role.

What level of first aid is required in the workplace? The level of first aid required in the workplace is dependent on the workplace and how high of a risk there is. This is where a first aid needs assessment would come in. This will help to identify what type of first aid training your staff needs, how many you need and how high of a risk your workplace is.

The 3-Day First Aid at Work training course is most suited to those working in high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses or workplaces with more than 50 employees.

Can you do first aid at work online?

You can't do the full First Aid at Work training course online. In order to meet first aid at work regulations, appropriate first aid training must include face to face training and assessment of practical skills.

This is why we offer our 3-Day First Aid at Work course as blended learning. This means your first aiders will complete the theory part of the course online and the practical skills required by the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 face to face.

How long does a First Aid at Work certificate last? A First Aid at Work certificate lasts for three years. However, the HSE recommends that first aiders should take a refresher course every year. This is because it's important to remain up to date on any new CPR techniques and processes, legislation and new procedures for first aid in the workplace.

Failure to renew your first aid at work certificate will result in your qualified first aider losing their first aid accreditation. This means the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will no longer consider them competent to act as a first aider and they will not be counted towards the required number of first aiders in your workplace.

We offer both 3-Day First Aid at Work courses and First Aid Refresher courses to ensure your staff keep their certificates and knowledge up to date. Check out our full first aid courses here.

How long is a first aid at work course? A First Aid at Work course is 18 hours long and is run over a minimum of 3 days.

How many people at work should be first aid trained?

The number of trained first raiders will depend on the risks present in your workplace. It’s best to take a full first aid needs assessment to correctly identify your first aid requirements. The below is just a guideline.

In low-risk environments, there should be one first aider for every 50 workers.

In high-risk environments, there should be one first aider for every 25 workers.
