First Aid Training
First aid is the caring for a sick or injured person until medical help arrives. It is always best to have a trained first aider on hand, but any member of staff can be trained in first aid. First aider training typically covers the following topics: • First aid kit – what to include and where to keep it If you are interested in first aid training for your workplace, there is HSS we offer First aid courses. While first aid training is not required by law, it is highly recommended, especially for workplaces with hazardous conditions. First aiders are trained in how to deal with a variety of different emergencies, so they can provide the best possible care to their colleagues. If you are interested in becoming a first aid, talk to your employer about HSS training options. You could also look into volunteering with a local first aid team.
