EMERGENCY FIRST AID AT WORK

Aims

At the end of the course delegates will have the skills and knowledge to provide your organisation with Emergency First Aider’s that can provide treatment to casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course delegates will have covered a wide range of subjects including:

• Responsibilities, first aid provision and reporting

• Dealing with an unresponsive casualty    
• Basic hygiene in First Aid
• Choking ‍
• Shock (including Anaphylaxis)

The HSE strongly recommend that all students undergo an annual refresher programme of three hours.

...I've run a temperature in at least two hospitals and I also met up with quite a few legless, armless and otherwise badly messed up folks. There's a whole lot of mighty serious accident contemplation going on in our hospitals. My observations have taught me that it is much better to think about accidents before they happen than to brood on them afterward. Take it from an old campaigner, the best kind of hospital bed is the one that is permanently empty. And personally, I'd rather be late for dinner tonight here than to be on time for breakfast in the next world in the morning. Haste makes waste of a lot of good human material. -Irvin S. Cobb (1876–1944)  [highway safety editorial for the National Safety Council, c.1930 —tεᖇᖇ¡·g]
