First Aid training from Norfolk to the West Midlands
Coronavirus COVID-19 statement – First Aid Training courses still available during 2021 lockdown
In line with advice from the HSE, First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum and the First Aid Quality Partnership, we are able to safely run first aid courses. We are following all the advice to mitigate the risks of spreading the virus. Our experience of running our first courses, with these measures in place, has left our trainers and trainees feeling very safe and comfortable with the training.
Our courses cover how to safely administer first aid in the current pandemic (this is different to what you would have previously been taught) and also how this would change when the risk level has dropped to level1.
The HSE advice is as follows:
FAW or EFAW certificates that expired after 16 March 2020 can remain valid until 31 October 2020 or 6 months from date of expiry, whichever is later. All requalification training for these certificates should be completed by 31 March 2021.
To qualify for the extension, employers must be able to demonstrate that:
- they have made every effort to arrange requalification training as soon as possible and can explain in detail why they have not been able to do so. For example, they must show evidence that staff with expired certificates are booked on to EFAW or FAW requalification courses, if requested by an inspector
- they have adequate and appropriate equipment and facilities to give first aid to any employee who is injured or becomes ill at work
- the level of first aid cover provided remains appropriate for their particular work environment
- the level of first aid provision necessary in high risk settings is fully maintained, eg in construction, agriculture, engineering and chemicals
Course bookings are being taken now. To discuss your requirements or to make a booking, please call 01508 570318 or send a contact form.
