Emergency First Aid at Work Reading: Three-Year Certificates
Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training, a Windsor-based first aid and fire safety training company, delivers emergency first aid at work training at premises in Reading and across five counties. Certificates from accredited courses last three years from successful completion, and HSE recommends an annual refresher in between.
When is a first aid refresher due?
Three years, counted from successful completion, is the validity on accredited courses. Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training sends a reminder when a refresher is due.
Knowledge slips well before the expiry date. HSE recommends an annual refresher within the certificate period, then requalification before the three years are up. A lapsed certificate no longer counts towards your cover.
How long should a paediatric first aid course be?
The full course is around twelve hours, normally over two days, and the emergency version is one day of about six hours. Which one a setting needs depends on its role and staffing, so check the current EYFS requirements.
What makes a good fire warden in a Reading workplace?
A fire warden is responsible for prevention, evacuation and extinguisher use. In ordinary weeks it means clear escape routes, an eye for hazards, and alarms and equipment that work.
When the alarm goes, the warden moves people out, sweeps the area and reports to the responsible person outside. Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training runs fire warden training as a half-day course at your premises, on your actual floor plan rather than a slide.
What do you do on a pediatric first aid course?
You practise first aid for babies and children on manikins: CPR, choking, bleeding, burns, febrile convulsions and allergic reactions. Assessment is on what you demonstrate as the course goes on, not a written exam.
When does choking become an emergency call?
A person who can cough should be urged to keep going. If they cannot cough, speak or breathe, give up to five back mental health first aid training Camberley blows between the shoulder blades, then move to up to five abdominal thrusts.
Ring 999 if the obstruction is still there, and begin CPR should they lose consciousness. Anyone given abdominal thrusts should be checked by a doctor afterwards. The technique changes for babies and children.
