construction industry first aid training

Construction industry first aid training has almost unique requirements. For most sites they will need to:

  • know how to call for help;
  • know how to share their location with the emergency services;
  • have a first aid kit;
  • have trained first aiders.

All but the smallest of sites require a formally trained first aider, whether the Emergency First Aid at Work or more commonly the full First Aid at Work.

Lazarus Training runs both these courses and the recommended Basic Life Support updates for qualified first aiders.

Construction Industry -First Aid at Work

First aid training is often a requirement of even the smallest of workplaces, which must make arrangements for action in an emergency, provide a first aid kit, and possibly provide trained workplace first aiders.

As an HSE-approved first aid training provider Lazarus Training provided several workplace first aid courses, all run in a highly practical and interactive way, by training staff with relevant qualifications and experience. Since the regulation changes Lazarus Training has become a Qualsafe Centre. All our first aid courses are aimed at making you confident to provide first aid at work when required.
