About this Course
This course teaches life-saving skills and best practices for emergency situations. This course can be used as refresher training or as part of a blended-learning approach for the Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) qualification.
Emergencies can happen at any time and in any place. An estimated 600,000 people suffer non-fatal accidents at work every year. That is why it is important that employees are equipped with the correct skills to respond to accidents and emergencies in the workplace. Timely administration of first aid ensures quick recovery and saves businesses time and money.
This e-learning course can replace 2 hours of the 1-day of Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) course or Level 6 Emergency First Aid at Work at SCQF courses that are run through recognised Highfield Qualifications centres.
This course is suitable for employees who get nominated as first aiders in low-risk workplaces. It can also be used as a refresher course for those who are looking to get requalified as first-aiders.
Did you know: The use of CPR dates all the way back to 1740, yet, even today many individuals do not know how to perform it. Given properly and immediately to sudden cardiac arrest victims, CPR can save lives.
