What will you learn on a course?
Adaptable courses
Our trainers can adapt their delivery to suit the learners on the course.
Structured course content
Our trainers will guide you through structured course content featuring videos, interactive activities and group work.
First aid for crush and entrapment injuries
Crush and entrapment accidents are a real risk in the construction industry. Our training courses focus on incident management.
Our course learners will learn how to manage the situation confidently while waiting for the emergency services. The skills covered include monitoring a person’s condition and helping prevent further harm until the emergency services arrive.
Life‑threatening bleeding
Life‑threatening bleeding is one of the most critical first aid emergencies on construction sites. Without immediate action, uncontrolled blood loss can quickly become fatal.
Our courses provide learners with the confidence to recognise the signs of catastrophic bleeding, applying firm direct pressure, using dressings and tourniquets correctly and calling the emergency services.
