Need First Aid Training? Established in 2007, OJ Safety has continued to disrupt the Health and Safety market with its expert, professional trusted, and personal services. Our sole aim of the business is to bring an uncomplicated solution to companies requiring a practical and honest safety partner, allowing our clients to concentrate on the day-to-day running of their business. As one of the most cost-effective providers nationwide, we pride ourselves on our “Can Do” attitude to Health and Safety.

British law requires that employers must provide a safe and healthy environment for their employees as per The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. This law states that employers must provide appropriate equipment, facilities, and personnel to ensure that their employees receive immediate and appropriate attention if they are injured or taken ill in the workplace. OJ Safety can provide appropriate, competent First Aid assessment courses to determine whether trained first-aiders are needed, what should be included in an onsite first-aid box, and if a first-aid room is required. This will be dependent on the workplace, the environment, the number of staff, etc. All potential hazards will be identified as part of the course and will allow you to make an informed decision on the required action/s needed to become fully compliant.

The Health and Safety Executive has the power to prosecute any business where there is a significant risk, a clear disregard for existing standards, or persistent poor compliance with the law. This can be avoided by being consistently proactive with your Health and Safety training accreditations. OJ Health and Safety can provide a fully managed service that will monitor and advise on when you need to renew your certifications. We will also work closely with you at an agreed frequency to understand if there have been any changes in your work environment that may require recertification.

If the First Aid assessment highlights the need for qualified First Aiders, then this Level 3 qualification (Level 6 in Scotland) will provide you with suitable and adequately trained personnel.

This comprehensive three-day course covers a wide range of First Aid emergencies, enabling all participants to deal with an emergency confidently in a prompt, safe, and effective way.

First Aid Training Duration

First Aid Training requires a minimum of 18 hours, which will be spread over at least three days.

Ideally, the course should be run over three consecutive days, but we can provide the flexibility to accommodate your specific needs if required, providing it is completed within 10 weeks of starting the course.

Certification

The assessment is ongoing by the instructor along with a question paper on each of the three days.

A three year Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (Level 6 in Scotland) will be issued to each learner, subject to successful assessment. No external assessors are required.
