This is an overview of the RQF Level First Aid courses at You Can Do It .Training

Suitability.

This First Aid training is aimed at those who undertake the responsibilities associated with being a workplace first aider.

 

Assessment.

Learners are assessed for this emergency first aid qualification using the following methods:

Multiple choice question paper
 

Practical observation

The assessment will take place under examination conditions, i.e., learners will sit at least 1.25 metres apart and will not be allowed to confer during the examination. No books, including dictionaries, will be permitted during the examination.

 

Business benefits.

Having designated first aiders in the workplace is a legal requirement

Nobody expects an emergency to happen. Having trained first aiders onsite ensures that if an emergency situation does arise, it will be dealt with in a prompt and effective manner

Failing to provide qualified first aiders puts everyone involved in your business at risk. This includes your employees, customers and visitors.
 

Learning outcomes:

Understand the role and responsibilities of a first aider.

Assess an incident

Manage an unresponsive casualty who is or is not breathing normally

Recognise and assist a casualty who is choking

Manage a casualty

Administering First Aid

Assessment of First Aid at Work needs.
 

Employers are required to carry out an assessment of first-aid needs. This involves consideration of workplace hazards and risks, the size of the organisation and other relevant factors, to determine what first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel should be provided.
 

If in doubt, we can provide a consultancy service. There is also a free HSE leaflet, which contains a useful checklist covering the points employers should consider when carrying out the assessment.
