Senior First Aid Training
In the first instance, if someone is injured or ill at work, it doesn't matter whose fault it is - what is important is that employers have made arrangements to ensure the affected person receives immediate attention. The initial management of injuries and illness, until expert medical attention is received, could be the difference between life and death.
First aiders are trained and certificated workers capable of administering first aid to injured or ill workers. They can only be trained by VETAB accredited organisations and the certificates issued are only valid for three years. First aid arrangements at work should always be reviewed quite regularly.
