What are the benefits of First Aid Courses?      

 

In addition to reduction the costs of injury, all businesses derive other benefits from effective First Aid cover.

Research shows that First Aid training significantly improves both the confidence and motivation of your employees.

Ensuring that all your employees learn First Aid means so much more than just complying with the Health & Safety legislation obligations.

By encouraging people to learn a life saving skill shows your commitment to the employee and to the well being of your whole team. The confidence and motivation that it can give to individuals is invaluable both in and out of the working environment.

 

Some of the benefits found by employees are;

 

 

Confidence within themselves in a First Aid situation

 

 

Of more value to the employer

 

 

"It Can be used in the workplace and in daily my life should the situation arise"

 

 

"It has given me a new life skill"

 

 

"I now have the ability to help others"

 

 

Personal development.

 

 

In addition to trained staff on site, other staff will benefit from good First Aid provision by feeling more relaxed and confident in the knowledge that if there was an incident they would receive prompt and effective treatment.

First Aiders can help to promote best practice whilst giving out good health & safety messages in the  workplace.

First Aid training, in itself, can improve safety behaviour and may contribute to accident prevention. (e.g. in support of the HSE priority on slips trips and falls etc.)
