2 day Outdoor First Aid.

 Our outdoor first aid course boosts confidence, promotes safety, and enhances decision-making under pressure, making it invaluable for hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, it fosters teamwork and self-reliance, ensuring individuals are better prepared to protect themselves and others in challenging outdoor situation.

There has been a huge growth in outdoor educational activities for children over the years, and they're a great learning experience for children. However, there are carefully managed risks involved, and ensuring that your team are equipped with the right first aid knowledge is essential.

Absenteeism from the workplace is often due to injuries sustained from the incorrect handling and moving of loads. This qualification may protect employers from potential litigation if an injury should occur to an employee. It provides employees with the competence, knowledge and awareness to their own safety through risk assessment and controls available.

Helping pupils with allergies.

Every school is likely to have at least one pupil who is severely food allergic, and many schools will have more. Peanut allergy is particularly common with 1 in 70 children nationwide thought to be affected. We are encouraging an approach to managing severe allergies that can be adopted throughout your organisation, as allergic children are rarely with the first aid officer when they start to become ill, and the wrong action taken by untrained staff can be very dangerous for a child.

Health and Safety in the workplace are essential to ensure the well-being of employees and create a productive, hazard-free environment. By implementing proper safety protocols, organisations can minimise risks, reduce accidents, and prevent workplace injuries or illnesses.

Calne based Wiltshire First Aid Training provides a course in first aid for parents, grandparents, mums-to-be and guardians.
