Online First Aid Courses

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 requires employers to ensure adequate First Aid provision for all of their employees. If employees are taken ill or have an accident at work, their employer has a legal duty to ensure they receive immediate and appropriate First Aid attention. These requirements apply to all workplaces, including self-employed workers, companies with fewer than five employees and those employing contractors.

The level of provision required will depend on the health and safety risks at the workplace. For example, a freelancer working at home will probably only need a first-aid box, while a small office should also appoint someone to take charge of First Aid, such as calling the emergency services. Large workplaces and those with more significant health and safety risks are likely to need one or more designated first-aiders who have received appropriate training such as a basic First Aid course.

Employers also have to check the quality of any First Aid training providers they use and ensure that any First Aid certificates are fit for purpose. First Aid At Work online training will not be suitable as there needs to be a practical element to the training. However, studying a First Aid refresher course online is an excellent option for improving First Aid awareness in the workplace.

The Health and Safety Executive strongly recommends annual refresher training throughout each three-year First Aid at Work certification period. Caredemy’s online First Aid training course range is ideal for this purpose.
