About the course
Overview
Ensuring that your employees are trained in first aid is not just a smart business decision – it’s a legal requirement. The Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work equips your staff with the essential skills to respond confidently and effectively in the event of a workplace emergency. This one-day, in-person course goes beyond presentations, offering hands-on, practical training led by experienced professionals.
This course is fully compliant with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982, ensuring that your business meets regulatory standards and avoids potential legal penalties. By investing in this training, you not only create a safer work environment but also boost employee confidence and morale.
Who Should Attend
- Employees designated as first aiders in their workplace
- Staff in high-risk industries like construction, manufacturing, and warehousing, where accidents are more likely to occur
- Office-based employees who want to be prepared to handle emergencies
- Managers and supervisors responsible for workplace health and safety
- Teams needing first aid coverage – Ideal for companies that want to train multiple staff members (in-house training available for groups of 12 or more)
Why It’s Essential
Providing emergency first aid training for your employees isn’t just about being prepared – it’s about complying with the law.

- Ensure legal compliance and avoid potential fines or penalties
