Introduction

At PCR Global we believe in efficient, effective training programmes. Our vast experience in high risk industries has lead to an understanding of how important this is.

We understand the issues and lack of certainty that is attached to first aid training, from what level of training is required for different jobs… is the one day or three day course needed, a perhaps an even more advanced course?

We’ve also studied the regulations and guidance surrounding first aid training requirements in the UK, leading to the development of our 1 day, construction specific, first aid at work course...

This comprehensive Emergency First Aid at Work course is specifically designed for individuals working in high-risk environments such as construction, manufacturing, engineering, and security sectors.

Recognising the unique challenges and hazards of these fields, the course includes an essential unit on catastrophic bleeds, preparing participants to effectively respond to severe bleeding emergencies which are critical in saving lives before professional medical help arrives.

Wherever possible, courses are tailored to the work environments of the participants, ensuring that scenarios they are likely to encounter are given precedent in practical sessions, better preparing students for real-world incidents.

What The HSE says:

The course has been developed with specificity in mind. During this one day course (7 hours) focus will be tailored toward specific hazards students may encounter, the injuries they can cause, and the treatment of those injuries. For example:

Fall injuries
Crush injuries
Muscular-skeletal injuries
Lacerations (including catastrophic bleeding)
Abrasions
Burns (hot works, chemicals, UV)
Shock

Course Objectives

The roles and responsibilities of a first-aider

Assessment

To confirm understanding, students will be assessed through their contribution toward group discussion, continuous practical assessment and an open-book multiple choice examination.
