Workplace First Aid
First Aid at Work Requalification (2 Day)
This 2 day First Aid at Work course is designed for those who currently hold a First Aid at Work qualification, which is due to expire.
This course meets the requirements of the Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Health & Safety (First aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982
The important thing to remember is that as soon as the certificate expires, the First Aider is no longer considered competent to act as a First Aider in the Workplace, which may well leave the employer with a shortfall of First Aiders.
Therefore, it would be prudent to arrange their Requalification before their certificate expires.
Please consider the following rules for attendance:
• A First Aider can renew their FAW qualification by attending a 2-day requalification course without question, if it’s within 1 month past the expiry date
• If the First Aider has lapsed by more than 1 month, but no longer than 3 months, then the First Aider can requalify by attending a 2-day course providing ‘Special considerations’ have been applied
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE:
• A signed letter from the employer to the training provider stating the reasons why in their opinion, the First Aider is suitably experienced to attend a 2-day course and does not require a full 3-day FAW course OR …
• A decision is made by the training provider, after discussions with the employer, or the First Aider, and deciding that their previous experience is sufficient to attend a 2-day course
• If the First Aider has lapsed beyond 3 months then they must attend a full 3 day FAW course.
This course will also incorporate aspects of Paediatric Basic Life Support.
