First Aid Training: It’s the Law.
Every business has a legal duty under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 to provide adequate and appropriate first aid equipment, facilities, and trained personnel. Failing to comply not only puts lives at risk but can also lead to serious legal and financial consequences in the event of a workplace incident.
- Required by law for all employers, regardless of business size or risk level
- Can help protect your business from liability claims and HSE enforcement action
- Demonstrates due diligence and duty of care to staff, visitors, and contractors
- Helps maintain compliance with insurance and industry safety standards
- First aid incidents must be managed appropriately to meet RIDDOR reporting duties

🏫 Schools & Nurseries
We deliver Paediatric First Aid and Safeguarding courses that meet EYFS and Ofsted requirements. Staff learn how to respond to seizures, allergic reactions, and injuries confidently.
🏗️ Construction & Trades
High-risk environments need trained first aiders. Our Emergency First Aid and 3-Day FAW courses prepare your teams for incidents involving heavy machinery, electrical shock, and trauma.
🛡️ Security Industry (SIA)
Working in security means you’re often the first responder in high-pressure situations. Our Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work course is a mandatory part of SIA licensing and teaches practical, no-nonsense skills for real-world incidents.
🧑💼 Offices & Admin Teams
Even in low-risk workplaces, having trained first aiders is essential — from CPR and AED use to choking, slips, and burns — our courses keep your business compliant and your staff prepared.
🏢 Warehouses & Industrial Sites
Manual handling, crush injuries and machinery incidents demand practical first aid knowledge. Our FAW and BLS courses are designed for high-risk environments like yours.
👤 Self-Employed & Small Businesses
You may be working alone, on the road, or managing a small team — but first aid responsibilities still apply. Our 1-day Emergency First Aid course is the fastest and most affordable way to stay compliant and prepared.
💄 Beauty, Hairdressing & Aesthetics
From salons and spas to mobile aestheticians, first aid training is essential when working with clients, sharp tools, or chemical products. Our Emergency First Aid and CPR courses ensure your team is prepared for allergic reactions, burns, or unexpected medical incidents.
💙 Charities and CICs
Whether working with vulnerable groups, hosting events, or operating community spaces — charities and community interest companies (CICs) need staff who can respond in emergencies. We offer flexible, cost-effective training tailored to your needs and funding level.
🌲 Landscaping and Forestry
Outdoor work carries unique risks — from machinery injuries to severe bleeding or remote incidents. Our Forestry First Aid (EFAW+F) course meets industry standards and prepares staff for fast action in isolated environments.

In busy customer-facing environments, medical emergencies can happen without warning. From slips and burns to allergic reactions or choking — we help your team respond quickly, safely, and confidently.
🏋️ Personal Trainers, Sports Coaches & Physio
