In the event of an accident or emergency, it is often what takes place within those crucial first minutes that makes all the difference. This is where the knowledge, skills and confidence of an appointed first aider can literally make the difference between life and death. By their very nature, accidents and emergencies in the workplace are often impossible to predict or prevent. At any time and for any number of reasons, an unexpected occurrence could result in a wide variety of severe or life-threatening injuries. From cuts to bone fractures to electric shocks to breathing problems, the first aider must know how to respond to every possible eventuality. Until the emergency services arrive, it is the responsibility of the first aider to do everything possible to help and support the casualty.

Enhance your workplace safety knowledge further by exploring the complete range of OHSC Courses, designed to support both personal and professional development.
