About 1st Aid Fire

1st Aid Fire is a company specialising in providing businesses and

industry with quality, comprehensive, health and safety, first aid and

fire training, we also conduct fire risk assessments in accordance with

the regulatory reform order (fire) and produce a comprehensive fire log

book.

Training courses and fire risk assessments are conducted in-company

or at open training venues, at a date and time to suit your business

needs. We are able to provide these services throughout the UK and

can accommodate evening and weekend courses.

Our aim is to provide high quality training with an emphasis on the

practical use of the skills taught. Students need to understand the

theoretical side of the courses, however, the most important part is

putting the knowledge they have gained in to practice.

We believe that training is the way forward in providing management

with the confidence they need to ensure the safety of staff and

premises. As an employer paying for the training, you need to know

that you are not only getting value for money but also that your

employees are able to put in to practice what they have learnt.

Whether it is health and safety, fire or first aid, prevention is always

better than a cure.

Trainers

All of our trainers have a wealth of knowledge and come from

specialist backgrounds which include the armed forces, fire service

and medical services. This depth of knowledge enables the trainers to

teach in a relaxed manner, relating the training to the real world and

not in a mundane text book manner. This attitude towards training

relaxes students enabling them to retain the information given and

promote an environment where they are able to ask questions freely.

We currently have 20 qualified trainers available to conduct courses

throughout mainland UK.

All first aid instructors hold a minimum of a first aid at work instructor’s

qualification.

All fire trainers have practical fire service experience as a military or

civilian operational fire fighter.

All fire risk assessors come from a fire service, fire safety back ground

and have practical experience within the fire service and within the

commercial sector.

All health and safety trainers are qualified and have practical

experience in their relevant training fields.

It is important that standards are maintained with all our trainers,

therefore, we hold periodic training workshops where we assess the

trainers and the level of training they provide which enables us to

ensure that you receive the best training possible at all times.

First Aid at Work Requalification

In order to remain current a first aider must attend a First Aid at Work

requalification course every three years. It doesn’t matter who issued

the original certificate, but requalification must take place within 28

days of the expiry date on the original certificate.

The requalification course will ensure that the personnel attending are still competent in conducting first aid at work and are aware of any changes of practices or procedures.

Candidates are assessed throughout the 2-day course and are required to take a multiple choice question paper. At the end of the course a final practical assessment is carried out by independent assessors, which may cover any of the subjects taught throughout the course but will include resuscitation and unconsciousness.

Successful candidates will receive a Health and Safety Executive First Aid at Work Certificate which is valid for three years from the date of the final assessment.

Automated External Defibrillator An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, easy to use machine that has the potential to save someone’s life. AED is well established as the only effective therapy for cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT).

The scientific evidence to support early defibrillation is overwhelming, the single most determinant of survival being the delay from collapse to delivery of the first shock. The chances of successful defibrillation decline at a rate of approximately 10% with each minute. Basic life support may help to sustain a shockable rhythm but is not a definitive treatment.

We offer a comprehensive AED course based on the necessary theory and practical requirements. The course is run over half a day and is designed to be as informative, yet enjoyable as possible, allowing candidates to gain confidence in what is possibly a lifesaving piece of equipment. Training conforms to current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines.

On completion of this course all delegates will receive a certificate of attendance and a course information folder which is designed to be used to consolidate training.

Moving and Handling People This half day course is specifically designed for staff that may be involved in manual handling people within the work place and introduces them to the hazards and risks involved.

Patient handling is a specialised area of manual handling. It includes any task that involves moving or supporting a patient including carrying, pushing, pulling, lifting and lowering. Handling a person is more complex and unpredictable than handling an object. People may be heavy or hard to grip and must be treated with dignity, respect and consideration for their capabilities. Safe handling means making it safe for both carer and patient. There are limits to the load people can handle without risk of harm. When the load is another person it usually exceeds those limits – so we need to eliminate thinking that a lift will be involved. Subjects covered within the course include:

Theoretical

Health and Safety at Work 1974

equipment. This may seem a lot of trouble for nothing, but research

shows that not only is it cost effective long term it protects from any

future claim for injury.

stress. This half-day course is ideal for safety representatives, office

managers, supervisors and VDU users from all spheres of industry.

Fire Extinguishers According to a UK survey undertaken by the Fire Extinguisher Trades Association (FETA) fire extinguishers are estimated to:

Save the UK economy over £500 million, based on values of total fire claims for commercial premises. Prevent 1,629 injuries. Prevent the loss of 23 lives.

Fire losses in the UK are currently estimated at £7 billion per annum but these official statistics only take into account those incidents reported to the Fire Service. Fire extinguishers are designed as a first aid fire-fighting tool to prevent minor incidents becoming major conflagrations. In order for a fire extinguisher to be effective it is vital that persons are adequately and regularly trained in their use.
