First Aid is key for everyone in all environments.

If your assessment of first aid identifies, then the First Aid At Work course will provide you with appropriate, highly trained personnel.
The important part to remember is that as soon as the certificate expires, the First Aider is no longer considered competent to act as a First Aider in the workplace which may well leave the employer with a shortfall of First Aiders.
