Construction industry
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.
