Course Overview

The First aid at height training course provides the comprehensive set of practical skills needed by first aiders in most work areas to become a confident first aider at height. Giving both the ability and knowledge to deal with many first aid emergencies. It meets the standards required to help comply with Health and Safety (First aid) regulations as well also meeting the MATS GN-009 guidance note. We have created the courses to ensure any attendees not only receive training and certification related more specifically to the “at height” application of first aid but the certification also complies with the HSE first aid at work requirements. Any attendees would also receive an accredited emergency first aid at work certificate meaning they would be certificated for both standard and non-standard (at height) emergency first aid at work. (they would receive two certificates)
