Course Description

Emergencies at work are rare, but when they happen, the first few minutes matter. This free online first aid course is designed to help you act calmly, quickly, and correctly when someone is injured or becomes seriously unwell in the workplace. You will build practical decision-making skills for real-life situations, so you can support colleagues, customers, or visitors while professional help is on the way.

Through clear demonstrations and short knowledge checks, you will learn how to assess a scene safely and carry out a structured first response. The course strengthens your ability to spot life-threatening problems early, understand what to do first, and avoid common mistakes that can delay care. It focuses on actions you can take immediately, whether the incident involves unconsciousness, breathing problems, suspected fractures, severe allergic reactions, or exposure to harmful substances.

You will also gain confidence with key lifesaving interventions, including effective CPR and using an AED. Guidance is included for adult and paediatric situations, helping you adapt your response for children and infants when choking occurs or when urgent resuscitation is needed. In addition, you will practice supportive techniques such as positioning someone safely in the recovery position, managing suspected spinal injuries with caution, and applying a sling appropriately to support an injured arm.

Alongside emergency response skills, you will learn how good preparation reduces risk, including what a first aid kit should contain in a typical workplace. By the end, you will have a strong foundation in first aid principles relevant to everyday work environments, improving both personal confidence and overall workplace safety awareness. Learn at your own pace, refresh your knowledge whenever needed, and be ready to step in when it counts.
